North Shore territory readout

3 catalogued material(s) of North Shore, each read from its own dated catalog row through @red-cup-engineering/derive-territory-readout-service@0.1.0. 0 row(s) outside this territory were excluded.

Value-chain reading

Pure arithmetic over published figures, the first priced measure, the first beat the pass left standing, and the program's whole claim on one screen: here is what the territory kept.

Ladder: derive-value-chain-shares-service's own work order example, "five-position cocaine farm-to-street ladder, Medellín and Cali case, low ends of every stated range" -- the reader's test fixture, not a claim about this territory or any current narcotics operation; no controlled substance is a catalog row. (@red-cup-engineering/derive-value-chain-shares-service@0.1.0, verified 2026-09-05). The producer's position is named first; each position's exact share of the retail price and its evidence row follow.

The North Shore region, read the same way

Every ladder has two positions, producer and retail, because no wholesale or processor price was found, so each producer share is a share of retail across an unmeasured middle, not of a full ladder.

manoomin — cultivated (paddy) wild rice, producer to retail

Producer: producer (USDA crop-insurance price election, cultivated wild rice, non-organic, 2025 crop year) -- 1.65 USD per pound -- PM-24-059 (2025 Crop Year Wild Rice Price Elections), USDA Risk Management Agency (https://rma.usda.gov/policy-procedure/bulletins-memos/product-management-bulletin/2024/pm-24-059-2025-crop-year); non-organic price election, published 2024-09-11 for the 2025 crop year, sales closing date 2024-09-30; the same bulletin sets $2.50 per pound for organic cultivated wild rice, not used here
Retail: retail (1 lb bag, MN Cultivated Long Grain Wild Rice) -- 6.99 USD per pound -- Shop Minnesota's Finest Wild Rice, KC's Best Wild Rice (https://kcsbestwildrice.com/product-category/wildrice/); base (1 lb) tier of a $6.99-$120.00 listed range across package sizes; larger bags were not individually priced per pound this session
Producer's share of retail: 23.6%

Lake Superior cisco / lake herring, producer (dock) to retail

Producer: producer (dockside, in the round; MN DNR 2024 Lake Superior commercial fishing summary) -- 0.60 USD per pound -- Commercial Fishing Summary, Minnesota Waters of Lake Superior, 2024, Minnesota DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife (https://files.dnr.state.mn.us/publications/fisheries/educational_reports/2024-lake-superior-commercial-fishing-summary.pdf); Cisco (Coregonus artedi, reported under the American Fisheries Society standardized name for lake herring); total 2024 harvest 350,388 lb, gross value $210,232.80

Producer's share of retail: 10.1%
not found: Dockside Fish Market (Grand Marais) per-pound retail prices — its website did not resolve this session (DNS timeout on docksidefishmarket.com and www.docksidefishmarket.com) and no per-pound figure was found in secondary sources (Tripadvisor, Boreal Community Media, Great Lakes Fisheries Heritage Trail); Northern Waters Smokehaus (Duluth) and Russ Kendall's Smoke House (Knife River) per-pound prices — neither publishes pricing on the open web this session; Wisconsin DNR ex-vessel/dockside price data for Lake Superior — the Wisconsin DNR Lake Superior Management Reports page was identified but not fetched this session; Michigan DNR ex-vessel/dockside price data for Lake Superior — the State-Licensed Great Lakes Commercial Fishing Harvest and Value report series was identified but its 2024 edition was not located/fetched this session; a wholesale/distributor price distinct from the MN DNR dockside price and Bodin Fisheries' retail price

Lake Superior agate, rough to finished jewelry

Producer: rough (raw material, by weight) -- 28.50 USD per pound -- 1lb - Famous Lake Superior Agates Rough for Tumbling - Polishing, Old Miners Outpost (https://oldminersoutpost.com/products/1lb-famous-lake-superior-agates-rough-for-tumbling-polishing)
Middle position: tumbled/polished (loose, unmounted specimen) -- 10.00 USD per piece -- Lake Superior Agate $10.00, Science Museum of Minnesota Store (https://store.smm.org/products/lake-superior-agate-10); priced and sold by the piece (0.5-2 oz specimens), not by weight; this position's unit differs from the rough position (per pound) and the finished-jewelry position (per piece, different item class) — the computed share and multiplier cross this unit change and should be read with that caveat
Retail: finished jewelry (retail) -- 235.00 USD per piece -- Lake Superior Agate Jewelry & Necklaces for Sale, Vikse Designs (https://viksedesigns.com/collections/lake-superior-agates); lowest-priced piece (a sterling silver ring, size 6.25) in an eight-piece collection ranging $235-$465; a comparable finished piece from another named seller, a copper-wire-wrapped pendant on an 18-inch chain from Michigan Rocks & Minerals (self-collected/cut agate, Empire Mine, Marquette Co., Michigan), is priced at $225.00
Producer's share of retail: 12.1% -- not comparable: the units differ (pound, piece, ring), so the reader's 12.1 percent is a ratio of quoted prices, not a share of one unit
not found: an unset/loose cabochon (cut and polished but not yet mounted into jewelry) priced by a named seller — the collections checked this session (gemstonesforsale.com, cabochonsforsale.com, an Etsy grab-bag listing) returned empty, 404, or 403; a slabbed (cut but untumbled) agate price distinct from rough or finished tumbled/polished pricing; a wholesale/distributor price for any stage (rough, tumbled, cabochon, or finished jewelry) distinct from direct-to-consumer retail listings; USGS production or dollar-value figures for Lake Superior agate — no dedicated USGS report was located this session; Minnesota DNR collection-volume or systematic dollar-value figures beyond the qualitative note that large, exceptionally beautiful stones 'may be worth hundreds of dollars'
