How it bears on the outcome
| Explanation | Fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| O0 No meaningful speed-up | Fits weak | One territory guardian's stated opposition is a statement of friction consistent with slower building, but it carries little weight on its own. |
| O1 Faster, but the extra output goes mostly elsewhere | Neutral weak | The statement says nothing about where graphite would be sold; fits equally. |
| O2 Faster, and more volume reaches the US (this level or higher) | Neutral weak | No information on volumes reaching the US; fits equally. |
| O3 Locked-in preferential terms for the US | Neutral weak | No US preferential term is involved. |
