AI without an adoption plan is just expensive advice.

A workflow in steps beats a single prompt, and the teams that build agents well are the ones that measure every step.

China's share of rare earth mining has fallen to about 69%, and it still makes 94% of the world's magnets, because the choke point is the separation chemistry after the mine.

Outside China only five operations sell rare earth product at scale, and the largest American one now runs on a price set by the US government.

A neodymium magnet needs a little dysprosium or terbium to survive the heat inside an electric motor, and China refines over 99% of both.

China's April 2025 license rule on 7 rare earths has never been paused, and everything that has been paused runs out within the next few months.

Rare earths are about as common in the ground as copper, and what makes them scarce is the chemistry that pulls 17 nearly identical elements apart.
