The Terminal · FNC-1 Proxy v0.1

What capital is building, against what belief expects.

FNC-1, our index of the companies actually building the AI buildout, read against the Belief Index, a gauge of how convinced the betting markets are that the boom holds. The gap between them is the signal. Updated each Monday with the weekly Reading.

Capital

What's being built.

FNC-1 against reference benchmarks, weekly closes. A public-market proxy for capital commitment across the AI substrates, not a measure of capital deployment itself.

FNC-1 versus benchmarks
Belief

What's believed.

The Belief Index reads how convinced financially-staked participants are, across a small set of liquid prediction markets. A disciplined sentiment overlay, not a principled forecast.

Belief Index, week over week
What this measures, what it does not

Boundary discipline.

FNC-1 is a public-market proxy for substrate capital commitment, built from a small basket of public equities exposed to the AI buildout. It reads valuation and expectation, not capital actually deployed. Capex, data-centre buildout, and power-purchase agreements are stronger deployment measures, and are on the roadmap.

The Belief Index is a sentiment overlay, not principled Bayesian prediction. It reflects financially-staked participants on a handful of liquid markets, and is narrow by design at this version. Treat it as a read, not a verdict.

The instrument is published in the open, with its construction, revision, and retirement conditions stated. If it stops earning its keep, we will say so. Read the methodology · read this week's Reading.
