What is the AI Compute Demand Index (AICDI)?
The AICDI is a composite index measuring overall strain on the AI compute supply chain. Currently at 61/100 (high). It combines five sub-indices: hardware demand (65), foundry concentration (83), memory pressure (57), energy strain (59), and cost pressure (30). Higher scores indicate greater supply chain strain.
How is the AI Infrastructure Readiness Score calculated?
Each datacenter region receives a 0-100 readiness score based on five weighted components: compute density (25%), energy security (25%), construction velocity (20%), water sustainability (15%), and regulatory climate (15%). Nordics ranks #1 with a score of 68, while Singapore ranks last at 20.
How much are hyperscalers spending on AI infrastructure?
The top 5 hyperscalers are investing a combined $283B in 2025 capital expenditure, primarily on AI datacenter infrastructure. Microsoft leads at $80B, followed by Amazon at $75B. This represents the largest infrastructure buildout since the transcontinental railroad.
What are the biggest bottlenecks in the AI supply chain?
The top constraints are: Foundry concentration, Hardware demand, Energy strain. Significant bottlenecks in AI compute supply chain. The supply chain flows from foundries (fabrication) through chips, memory, systems, and energy. Each layer has its own pressure index.
Which region is best for building an AI datacenter?
Based on the AI Infrastructure Readiness Score, Nordics (Sweden/Finland/Norway) ranks #1 at 68/100, with strengths including 92% carbon-free power, Low PPA pricing ($25/MWh), 9 months free cooling. Texas · ERCOT ranks #2 at 62/100. Constrained regions include UAE · Gulf States, Netherlands · Frankfurt, Ireland, Singapore.
How does this data update?
Currently updated manually from public sources (earnings reports, utility filings, sustainability reports, analyst estimates). Data quality rules: "TBD" for unknown values, never guessed. Future phases will automate via Supabase + scheduled scrapers pulling from SEC EDGAR, TrendForce, utility filings, and hyperscaler earnings transcripts.
