Signal-based

Tests that resolve on a print, a filing or a price rather than a date. They move to the calendar when a date is known.

  1. When the bottleneck clears

    If end demand survives market-rate financing, the financed-demand warning weakens; if recurrence falls, private-credit risk moves to the front.

    Part 01: Nvidia’s Demand Is Real. Its Financing Is Fragile. Pendingp01-t01

  2. As capacity ramps

    Order cancellations would erode year-long customer visibility; continued bookings would support the scarcity case.

    Part 01: Nvidia’s Demand Is Real. Its Financing Is Fragile. Pendingp01-t02

  3. Next depreciation tests

    Schedules that lag obsolescence flatter earnings; schedules that catch up would strengthen the bears.

    Part 01: Nvidia’s Demand Is Real. Its Financing Is Fragile. Pendingp01-t03

  4. Next bond tranche

    Bond pricing will show whether lenders still trust Starlink to carry AI spending.

    Part 02: SpaceX Is Funding an AI Bet Before the Proof Pendingp02-t03

  5. OpenAI IPO window

    A third trillion-dollar cash-burning listing would test Kevin Gee’s market-capacity concern.

    Part 02: SpaceX Is Funding an AI Bet Before the Proof Pendingp02-t04

  6. Next H100 batches

    Re-lets near 95 percent support durable value; faster decay would expose a gap in the economics.

    Part 03: The Machines Will Work. The Debt Might Not. Pendingp03-t02

  7. When the streak ends

    The 182-day run ending would test whether unusual market calm is breaking; repetition would extend the signal.

    Part 03: The Machines Will Work. The Debt Might Not. Pendingp03-t05

  8. Next lab financing

    OpenAI and Anthropic revenue and funding terms emerge; deceleration, not decline, is the trigger for a reflexive break.

    Part 04: AI Spending Has Met Its First Real Bill Pendingp04-t02

  9. Token and productivity data

    Prices, volumes and productivity move together; sustained volume growth over price and a visible productivity surge support the bulls.

    Part 04: AI Spending Has Met Its First Real Bill Pendingp04-t05

  10. Next prospectus

    An audited listing reveals margins, customer concentration and investor-linked revenue; clean disclosure would support separation, weak economics would reunite the risks.

    Part 05: OpenAI and Anthropic Are Not the Same Business Pendingp05-t01

  11. Next disclosures

    Useful-life assumptions show whether first-year GPU margins survive across the cluster; Romero’s accounting would gain force if they do not.

    Part 05: OpenAI and Anthropic Are Not the Same Business Pendingp05-t02

  12. DeepSeek repricing

    A quiet reversal would weaken Erkan’s demand evidence; sustained higher prices would support the view that demand remains structurally strong.

    Part 05: OpenAI and Anthropic Are Not the Same Business Pendingp05-t03

  13. A second revocation

    Another model suspension would turn Massif’s signal into procurement policy, showing that open weights are changing buying behavior.

    Part 05: OpenAI and Anthropic Are Not the Same Business Pendingp05-t05

  14. Next quarterly count

    A second quarter near 26 blocked projects would turn a single data point into a permitting trend.

    Part 06: Power Doesn’t Depreciate. Its Premium Moves. Pendingp06-t03

  15. First cancellation

    A hyperscaler cancelling for sufficient compute would turn the fiber analogy into evidence of overbuild.

    Part 06: Power Doesn’t Depreciate. Its Premium Moves. Pendingp06-t04

  16. 10-year at 5.5%

    Howell expects a major bond opportunity; failure to turn would keep the growth brake unproven.

    Part 07: The Fed Hiked. The Long End Still Climbed. Pendingp07-t03

  17. First Blackwell renewal

    Contract repricing shows whether scarce compute retains value or lenders face faster obsolescence.

    Part 08: AI Lenders Are Financing the End of Scarcity Pendingp08-t04

  18. Fluidstack terms

    Government-loan terms reveal the price Washington assigns to financing bottlenecks it wants to remove.

    Part 08: AI Lenders Are Financing the End of Scarcity Pendingp08-t05

  19. Amazon standoff

    Amazon allowing agent checkout would show the advertising pool beginning to move; continued resistance shows its value remains protected.

    Part 09: Habit Was the Moat. Agents Are Draining It. Pendingp09-t05

  20. At 5.5% 10-year

    A 5.5% Treasury yield tests Howell’s turning-point history against TSCS’s warning that the long end will keep rising.

    Part 10: The Bubble Is in the Denominator Pendingp10-t03

  21. Next used-GPU print

    Three-year-old chip rents and resale prices show whether scarcity or durable economics supports hardware values.

    Part 10: The Bubble Is in the Denominator Pendingp10-t04

  22. Productivity data

    A rise in total factor productivity would show the rest of the economy can write the checks; a flat reading leaves bondholders exposed.

    Part 10: The Bubble Is in the Denominator Pendingp10-t05

A day tile is a scheduled date. A month tile means the story named the month and the day is not yet known. Signal-based tests have no date until the print, the filing or the price arrives. Status moves to confirmed, refuted or inconclusive only when a result is published. Analysis and opinion, not investment advice.
