Opportunities

The opportunity matrix family: how Nexus presents every pathway considered for a material requirement — costed, compatibility-scored and AI-assessed for viability — visually first (proximity map, cost flow, decision grid) with cards, comparison and matrix behind.

Proximity map

The spatial read. The requirement site at the centre, every pathway radiating to its counterparty against faint distance rings; arrows carry the direction of movement, multi-step routes chain through their facility, and site-won or treat-and-return pathways loop back home. Hover any route; click it for the full pathway.

Cost flow

The money read. Each ribbon's width is the pathway's estimated net cost, so the fat ribbon is the expensive route and the thin one the bargain — legible before any number. Facilities sit as waypoints on the ribbon; ruled-out pathways stay visible, washed out and dashed.

Decision grid

The choice read. One dot per pathway, placed by estimated net cost across and share of gates already cleared (viability conditions + compliance) up — strong options collect top-left, the baseline is pinned as a reference line, and the import scenario here shows a recycled source beating the primary quarry on both axes.

Opportunity card

The comparable unit. A baseline (dashed anchor), a strong conditional match, and a ruled-out pathway that stays visible with its reason — the cards carry the whole story: route, net cost, saving vs baseline, timing and compatibility.

Cost breakdown

Itemised estimate lines with a proportional composition bar. Credits (here, an avoided phase 2 purchase) render green and pull the net total down; the strip at the foot reads the total against the baseline route.

Viability panel

The AI reasoning surface: verdict with confidence, the strengths and risks weighed, and the conditions the pathway must still pass. Ruled-out pathways carry the exclusion reason in an error callout.

Viability assessment

Conditional· 78%

Strong match with major savings, provided the BS 3882 results come back within specification.

Strengths

  • Waste-to-product transfer under DoW:CoP removes gate fee and landfill tax entirely
  • Programme windows align with six weeks of slack
  • Shortest haul of any open pathway

Risks

  • Prior observations show slightly elevated pH — a failed MFT would need blending before placement
  • Receiving site's landscaping package is not yet let

Ruled out· 90%

The receiving land's U1 exemption caps deposits at 1,000 t — under a fifth of the volume — so the pathway cannot clear the requirement.

Comparison

Open pathways as columns, decision dimensions as rows, the baseline pinned and tinted. Winning cells for cost, saving and distance carry a check; the grid scrolls horizontally with a sticky label column.
