DT4I
Domains

Where the methodology applies.

These are reference points, not a claim that any domain is solved. Implementation happens in Atlas.

Industrial Domains

Eight domains the architecture is designed to generalize across.

Critical Minerals

Extraction, processing, and refining capacity for materials used across batteries, electronics, and defense.

Energy

Generation, storage, and grid infrastructure supporting industrial and compute load growth.

AI Infrastructure

Compute, power, and thermal systems underlying large-scale model training and inference.

Semiconductors

Fabrication, packaging, and substrate capacity across the chip supply chain.

Supply Chains

Routing, logistics, and chokepoint dependencies across global trade networks.

Manufacturing

Capacity, tooling, and process constraints across industrial production.

Agriculture

Input supply, processing, and distribution systems underlying food production.

Water

Availability and infrastructure constraints relevant to industrial and agricultural siting.

Current Demonstrations

Where the methodology has been implemented.

Graphite America
Reference Demonstration

Battery-grade graphite supply — source regions, processing bottlenecks, and siting questions relevant to Southern California / Imperial Valley — implemented in Atlas as the first reference deployment of the DT4I methodology.

Constraints the methodology is built to map.

Graphite anode material
Batteries / AI infrastructure

China refines the large majority of battery-grade anode graphite. Any disruption in processing capacity, not just mining, propagates into cell production.

Advanced packaging substrates
Semiconductors

Substrate and interposer capacity has not scaled at the same rate as accelerator demand, creating a packaging-side bottleneck independent of wafer output.

Grid-scale transformers
Energy / data centers

Multi-year lead times on large power transformers are a known constraint on new data center interconnection timelines.

Rare-earth permanent magnets
Motors / robotics / energy

Concentrated refining and magnet-manufacturing capacity outside the mining stage itself is the more binding constraint.
