vev_b90f67dac1876464finding.caveatedVerifier caution: Claims 300× cost differential ($0.05/kg sodium vs $15/kg lithium). Actual Dec 2025 prices: sodium carbonate ~$0.21/kg (~$213/ton) vs lithium carbonate ~$10.83/kg (~$10,830/ton) = ~50× differential, not 300×. Claim significantly overstates cost advantage.
