All claims
AI capex/revenue arithmetic forces capital repricing: hyperscaler capex (~$725B 2026) is ~16x AI-attributable revenue (~$50B); either FCF turns negative or a repricing cascade ensues. Commoditisation (DeepSeek <$6M training) erodes platform-layer pricing power before scale is recouped, and the 'pick-one trap' means AI cannot simultaneously deliver the productivity to close the gap AND protect the consumer base it is severing (C-09).

What would prove us wrong
- AI-attributable revenue exceeds $200B/yr
- Hyperscaler AI capex/revenue ratio drops below 3x
- AI-service gross margin holds above 60% at two or more hyperscalers
- Trigger: >60% for 3 consecutive years (commoditisation refuted)
Posture implications
- accumulateGE Vernova
- accumulateSiemens Energy
- accumulateenergy-exposed AI capex inputs
- avoidNVDA at cap-weighted peak
- avoidAI-only software at 20x+ revenue
