- Worth noticing
- Its example traces 3,198 laptops to estimated copper, cobalt, and palladium quantities, with EU critical and strategic flags.
Field notes
The described workflow accepts a product category with total mass and item count, or a facility Excel workbook, and returns expected output fractions with material estimates. Its laptop example pairs approximate quantities for copper, cobalt, and palladium with EU Critical and Strategic flags. The page says the estimates draw on coefficients extracted from published scientific papers; it also describes comparing predictions with recorded recovery and lab results.
