02 / The Lens Supply Chains of Intelligence

Energy, compute, data, models, software, and decision-making aren't separate markets — they're
one chain. Each layer feeds the next, and a constraint in any single layer caps the whole.

I track where value, risk, and leverage relocate as the chain matures — which layer becomes
scarce, which gets commoditized, and where one decision compounds across everything downstream.
