every stage of a battery chain mapped and costed

What used to take weeks

The questions did not change. The time to answer them did.

These are the questions procurement, strategy and finance teams bring us. In SCIO, the answer is already on the page.

YOU

How exposed is our LFP cell supply to China?

SCIO

China supplies 78% of LFP cathode trade. Your listed suppliers put you at 92%, above the market. Two of your five suppliers are single-source.

YOU

What does the new US duty do to our pack cost?

SCIO

For buyers in the United States it adds 0.6% to pack cost, mostly through cathode and cells. The scenario view shows it by stage.

YOU

Where else could we buy lithium carbonate?

SCIO

Chile, Argentina and Australia each ship at scale. The trade view ranks them by volume, price per tonne and duty into your country.

YOU

Are we paying above market for aluminium foil?

SCIO

Your price is 17% above the export unit value from your supplier country this year. The supplier list flags it so you can check it.

Answers are illustrative of the views in the workspace.

How it works

From first call to first decision.

  1. 1

    Tell us your question

    A market, a material, a trade lane or a supplier list. We confirm what SCIO covers and what it would take to add the rest.

  2. 2

    We build your workspace

    Analysts link the reports, trade data and models your team needs. Access is set module by module.

  3. 3
