State of the Transition.
From 30 March to 27 July 2026, FP1 used sixteen Readings and Briefings as a public testbed for applying and refining its developing evidence-to-decision framework against live questions.
The complete public application series.
The series helped expose where claims, thresholds, evidence standards, and analytical methods needed refinement. Each dated issue preserves the evidence, terminology, and method state used when it was published. Current analytical state now lives in the Radar, Register, Method, and research updates.
The chips repriced. The numbers didn't.
Operating results improved while chip valuations fell; the reading separates price movement from the buildout evidence.
The gap closed. The buildout didn't close it.
The latest formal Hyperscaling sweep records four crossed dimensions and utilization on the threshold.
The chips bounced. The buildout didn't follow.
A comparison of semiconductor pricing and the broader infrastructure basket.
The Cost of the Clock
How time horizon and financing duration change the interpretation of infrastructure cost.
The Chip Index Broke. The Compute Leaders Didn't.
A divergence between the semiconductor index and leading compute companies.
The Index Broadened. The Buildout Didn't.
A broader index did not yet demonstrate a broader physical buildout.
