  "note": "Per-DFI mandate criteria (geography, sector, thematic screens, instrument) applied to the asset roster to answer the screening question a development-finance officer asks first: is this asset within our mandate at all? Criteria are curated from published institutional mandates; this layer narrows a screening universe, it does not clear an investment.",

Geography and sector fit are read from published institutional mandates. Exclusion-list contents and instrument eligibility are NOT reproduced here and must be confirmed with the institution directly. A geography-eligible result means the asset's jurisdiction is within the institution's stated countries of operation; it is not a statement that the asset clears environmental, social, integrity, or instrument screening.",

This is narrower than the broad 'critical minerals' sense used in the financeability feed's commodity_class, which also captures food-security and strategic minerals (e.g. potash/SOP fertiliser is 'critical' in that broad sense but is NOT a green-transition mineral here). The two lenses are complementary, not contradictory. Surfaced only for institutions whose mandate explicitly prioritises green-transition / critical minerals.",
