Our thesis, in two minutes

Two short films on why the next generation of AI won't be trained on the web — and where its data actually lives.

All analysis

Edition 06

X published its algorithm. We read it, we got one thing wrong, and the source caught us.

Edition 05

Everybody says the supply chain needs data. Nobody is buying it. They're buying the companies.

Freight and maritime data sells at the price of an industrial asset — and it is bought by traders, insurers and governments, not by carriers. On this cluster, a marketplace is the wrong shape, and we say so.
