- Known gaps
- Nine metric families, from customer allocation to CoWoS capacity and utilization, collected since May 2024. Allocation and share-locked figures are numbers no company discloses — 59% of published signals derive from analyst estimates; treat direction and change as the reliable signal and absolute levels as approximate. Signals publish only after review; candidates that fail stay in a pending queue. The /api/v1/allocation endpoint serves the three headline metrics; this contract covers the full set behind the tool.Authored 2026-08-16; next review 2026-11-15.
