AI VALUE CHAIN ATLAS · DEMO

See how AI gets built — then find the bottleneck.

The whole AI industry chain in nine layers and 24 key technologies. Each technology is explained in three animated steps, every claim carries an evidence status, and a bottom-up view asks which layer is tightest.

  1. HOW THE ATLAS WORKS
  2. TAKES IN Technical sources and daily signals All synthetic in this demo
  3. MAPS & CHECKS Places each item on a layer, explains the mechanism, tags the evidence
  4. PRODUCES A bottleneck ranking and what-if scenarios
  5. YOU DECIDE Which claims hold, which layer is tightest, what to watch

What changed this week

Signals and indicators the atlas is watching. Invented for this demo: fictional companies, fictional sources.

02 / INDUSTRY MAP

Nine layers, read bottom-up

Each layer turns what the layer below makes into something the layer above needs. Pick a layer for details.

    Tightness score = 40% lead time + 40% demand pressure + 10% supplier concentration + 10% how hard it is to substitute. Illustrative weights and inputs; not investment advice.

    03 / TECHNOLOGY LAB

    From terminology to understanding

    24 technology topics across all nine layers. Understand the job, then watch the mechanism in three steps.

      04 / COMPARISONS

      Easy to confuse, side by side

      Relative descriptors from how the technologies work — not measurements, not rankings of companies.

      05 / SCENARIOS

      What if…? Watch a shock move through the layers

      Pick a shock and run it. The tightness of each layer updates, and you see where the bottleneck moves.
