The compliance-rail map: which vendor runs each state’s mandatory seed-to-sale tracking, contract status, and where the incumbent is beatable.
16 states have no locked-in seed-to-sale system — greenfield or contested track-and-trace contracts. The rest are held by Metrc, BioTrack, or a state-built platform. This is the compliance-rail map: whoever holds a state's track-and-trace runs a toll on its entire regulated supply chain.
