Rank View
Pick a KPI, pick a time period. See every company ranked by who improved the most. The leaderboard for operational change.
How It Works
One question, one ranked list
Rank starts with a KPI. Select gold production, AISC, copper sold, realized price, recovery rate — any of the 102 metrics in the dataset. Then pick a time period: a point-to-point comparison (2020 to 2024) or a range analysis (average YoY over 2020–2024).
The workspace computes the change for every company that has data for that KPI and period, then sorts them from best to worst. The result is a leaderboard — not of who is biggest, but of who improved the most.
Direction Normalization
Green always means better
For production KPIs (gold produced, copper sold, ore milled), a positive change is good. For cost KPIs (AISC, C1 cash cost), a negative change is good — costs going down is improvement.
Rank handles this automatically. Cost KPIs have their sign flipped for display: a 10% decrease in AISC shows as +10% (green). A 10% increase shows as -10% (red). You never have to think about whether “up” or “down” is good for a given metric. Green is good. Red is bad. Always.
Sorting works the same way. The company at rank #1 always had the most favorable change, whether that means the biggest production increase or the deepest cost cut.
Operations
Two ways to rank
Compare
Point-to-point percentage change between two years. “Who grew gold production the most from 2020 to 2024?” This captures the total magnitude of change, including any volatility in between.
Range
Window analysis over a year range. Rank by average YoY% (who grew the fastest per year), consistency (who improved the most often), or acceleration (whose improvement is speeding up).
Definition Tracking
Breaks shown, not hidden
When a company changes how it calculates a metric — switching from “AISC net of by-product credits” to “AISC excluding corporate G&A,” for example — the year-over-year change becomes meaningless. The number went up, but not because costs increased. The definition changed.
Rank shows these definition breaks inline. A small indicator appears next to any value where the underlying definition changed between the compared periods. You can click to see both the old and new definition.
The “comparable only” filter goes further: toggle it on and the ranking excludes any company whose definition changed during the selected period. What remains is a clean ranking where every percentage change is an apples-to-apples comparison.
Use Cases
Questions Rank answers
Which gold miners cut AISC the most from 2020 to 2024?
Select AISC (gold), Compare mode, 2020 → 2024. Rank shows every gold producer sorted by cost improvement. A company that went from $1,200/oz to $980/oz shows a bigger green number than one that went from $1,100/oz to $1,050/oz.
Which copper producers grew production most consistently?
Select copper produced, Range mode, 2020–2024, Consistency metric. A company that increased production in 4 out of 4 years scores 100%. One that increased in 2 out of 4 years scores 50%.
Who is accelerating right now?
Select any KPI, Range mode, 2022–2024, Acceleration metric. Companies where the most recent YoY% is higher than the previous YoY% are accelerating. Rank puts them at the top.
Which lithium producers had the best realized price change?
Select realized lithium price, Compare mode, 2022 → 2024. In a falling lithium price environment, this shows who managed the decline best (or least worst).
Multi-KPI Ranking
Add columns, not complexity
You can select multiple KPIs at once. Each KPI becomes a column in the rank table. Click any column header to re-sort by that metric. This lets you see, at a glance, whether the companies that grew production the most also managed to cut costs — or whether they traded one for the other.
Click any cell to see the full proof: the source document URL, the exact page number, and the verbatim quote from the company's filing. Every number in the table is independently verifiable.
