What it answers.
- Is chip demand still speeding up, or have contract chipmakers and memory makers started to slow?
- Did any US, UK or EU rule this week touch the chips, tools or design software we sell, or name anyone we trade with?
- When the US tightens chip exports, do the UK and the EU really follow within months, and how closely?
- Is the gap between the open-market price of an AI chip hour and a large cloud's price wide enough today to cover moving work?
- If a strong earthquake and a power-station loss hit Taiwan's fab corridor in one week, how many weeks could our parts run short?
- Which design ideas, such as chiplets or compute-in-memory, are gaining ground in research before they reach products?
Who uses it.
Fund managers and equity analysts who cover chipmakers
Where is the chip cycle before the results? Taiwan's monthly chip revenue, split by segment on filing day, brings the call weeks forward.
Buyers and supply-chain planners at electronics, car and server makers
When to order early and how much stock to hold. An alert the day a fab shakes, a rule bites or a supplier's revenue turns.
Export-compliance officers at distributors, toolmakers, freight forwarders and trade-finance banks
Stop a chip, tool or design file reaching a restricted buyer. One US, UK and EU rule timeline flags look-alike names on publication day.
AI start-ups, research labs and compute buyers
Rent GPUs on the open market or at list price? Market price and free units against list and spot show compute turning scarcer or cheaper.
Chip design and verification teams
Commit to an architecture and partners abroad, long before first silicon. Rising research ideas and limits on sharing know-how, seen early, leave room to adjust.
What we model, test and run.
Spending up, memory slowing
Contract chipmaking revenue up on the year, memory slowing two months running, spending plans growing. Recognised when it forms, with what it likely means for the next two to three quarters.
One GPU hour, two prices
One GPU hour: open-market price against a large cloud's list or spot rate. Between them: moving data, setup, exit fees, capacity withdrawn mid-run. When does the gap cover the move?
Washington moves, London and Brussels follow
Is a US chip-export tightening matched by the UK or EU within 90 days? How often, and how closely.
Taiwan's fab corridor shaken
A strong quake and lost power stations in Taiwan's fab corridor, run on your parts and stock: weeks short, how bad it could get, and the supplier behind it.
Chip-chain tracking engine
A restricted name matches a customer: the shipment is held for checks. A fab shock passes your threshold: buffer stock ordered. Runs in your systems, on your rules.
What we build for you.
Chip-cycle nowcaster
A gauge that moves with each Taiwan monthly revenue filing, split into contract chipmaking, memory, packaging and design. Gives an early global sales estimate, scored when the industry total lands.
Export-control tracker
Every new US, UK and EU rule on chips, tools and know-how, on one timeline. Tagged by country and technology. Possible name matches go to a person.
Compute gap model
Open-market price and free units for each GPU model, against a cloud's list and spot rates. Is today's gap wider than the cost of moving? A needle swings towards scarce.
Fab-shock exposure model
A map of fab clusters in Taiwan, South Korea, Kyushu and Arizona. Rings each quake; marks any large Taiwan power-station loss. Each event weighed for its likely supply effect.
Chip-architecture research tracker
A weekly chart of rising ideas in chip-architecture papers: chiplets, compute-in-memory, photonics, accelerators. Plus which countries' labs write them. Flags the week an idea first reaches a chipmaker's filings.
Delivered to you.
Daily chip-cycle reading
Daily, before Asian markets open: where the chip cycle stands, new export rules, AI-chip prices and live shocks.
Export-control alerts and screening
New US, UK and EU rules, tuned to your products, destinations and customers, in your inbox. Possible matches flagged for your review; licensing stays yours.
Fab-shock event reports
After each strong quake near a fab or big Taiwan grid loss: size, distance and outage notices. Plus a simulated range of supply effects.
Chip-chain data feed
The same readings, piped into your own models. Filings by type, revenue as filed, rules by country, GPU prices and scored shocks.
We build the intelligence.
