REVISION 2026-07-02 The call: the recycling ratio is ~26×

An EDGAR line-item re-verification (Amazon → OpenAI: $15B funded + a $35B commitment letter, accession on file) widened the outside-funded-cash denominator. Restated 26× → ~15.4×; the 26× is superseded and blocked at build time by the I4 out-of-band assert.

EDGAR: 0001018724-26-000014
REVISION 2026-07 The call: Amazon is extending server life to flatter earnings (I1)

Amazon in fact shortened useful life 6→5 years (~$1.4B added cost) — against the hyperscaler trend. Corrected: Amazon is the canary, not a culprit.

PENDING open The refinancing wall bites in the next data-center debt-maturity window

Watching Q3–Q4 maturities; unresolved. Logged in advance so the call is checkable against what happens.
