ARCANE's chain index records fertiliser supply and crush capacity as the narrowest named step. This reference record exposes the known constraint and substitution window without assuming unnamed tiers, nodes, or company exposures.

Tier 2 · narrowWater allocation

Missed water allocations turn a farm input into a lost growing cycle

Water allocation is narrow because crops cannot wait for an operating substitute once planting and irrigation decisions are set. The constraint sits upstream of harvest: a shortfall there reduces what downstream processors and food manufacturers can receive, even when their own facilities remain ready to run.

The exposed chain therefore carries a timing problem, not just an input shortage. Water secured before the growing cycle can protect output; water found afterward cannot restore the same crop, leaving substitution to arrive after the loss has already moved downstream.

Chain investigation brief

Is water allocation becoming the pacing step for this chain, rather than a symptom reported downstream?

Observe: Start at the named step: Fertiliser supply and crush capacity. Compare a source record for that step with the downstream delivery or recognition it is meant to constrain.
Boundary: This is a 5 recorded tiers reference chain with a recorded substitution window of 6–12 m. It does not establish issuer exposure until a named record supports it.
Breaks the read: A verified record showing that an alternative clears inside 6–12 m, or that downstream delivery no longer moves with water allocation, would weaken this chain read.

Published investigation

No matching illustrated investigation is currently packaged for this record. The method remains open; a reporting card appears only when a durable article exists.

If the named step stops

The reference map expects water allocation to become the first observable constraint. A replacement that cannot qualify inside 6–12 m does not resolve the exposure during the affected cycle.

Chain-level reference

The published map identifies fertiliser supply and crush capacity as the operational step to investigate before assigning issuer-level exposure.

Partial

This is a chain record, not a supplier list. Company-level exposure is withheld until it is supported by a named record.
