About
Who stands behind the numbers.
SpotWire is an independent price reporting agency for the physical AI infrastructure supply chain. We publish four composite reference indices — compute, interconnect, power, and facility — built from primary sources: completed secondary-market transactions, channel and integrator list prices, public infrastructure feeds, and SEC filings.
We sell information, not equipment and not transactions. SpotWire holds no inventory positions in the frontier hardware it assesses, takes no placement fees, and accepts no compensation from any company whose products appear in the indices.

The receipts
Trust in a price reporter shouldn't rest on a bio. It should rest on an audit trail anyone can check:
Open methodology, versioned
/methodology
Every index documents its components, weights, data-source tiers, and price primitives. Changes land in a public changelog — methodology revisions are disclosed, never silent.
Self-reporting integrity guards
/data/methodology.json
The indices flag their own weaknesses in the published data: single-source warnings, vendor-concentration warnings, indicative gates, and per-component comp counts. When a component rests on one vendor, the data says so.
Openly licensed data
/data
Index values, history CSVs, methodology metadata, and tool datasets are published machine-readable under CC-BY-4.0 at stable URLs.
Stable citations
/cite
Every issue has a permalink that never breaks. Copy-paste citation formats for every index.
Corrections
When we get a number wrong, we say so. Corrections are disclosed in the methodology changelog with what changed, why, and which issues were affected. Frozen monthly archives are never silently revised. To report an error: [email protected].
