Research
We write about the engineering underneath the three parts: the physics of a pod in a room, the regulations that govern it, the contracts that let a building host one, and the numbers we use, with their sources. We do not publish customer names or traction figures, and we do not present third-party benchmarks as our own results. Dates are publication order. Every figure links to the sources page.

Sanctioned load versus drawn load, the two million rooms the census counts, one city worked from the bottom up, why we cut the estimate to 1%, and what a scan measures.
Voice AI is priced per resolution, the model is a sliver of a minute, and from 2027 every recovery call is recorded. Why a bank must name the room.
Coding assistants went usage-based and the per-engineer bill became visible. Why a client MSA, not a statute, sends an engineering team to buy a room.
The host contract: a ₹4.87 L annual floor, a metered kicker modelled at ₹7.2 L, a ₹15 to 18 L cap, power at actuals, two documents, and exit in 48 hours.
Why a rack into an existing building takes about nine months, the four steps that replace it, 340,200 configurations a room, and the signature software never replaces.
250 trillion tokens a month and what it does and does not say, the 52.8% and 76.1% NVIDIA figures, why placement beats parallelism, and what our own cost per token depends on.
Why no scheme certifies a mill, the electrical, fire, component, wiring and end-of-life regimes that apply in the first market, and the checklist we wrote instead.
The airflow ten kilowatts needs at a 10 °C rise, one 5 TR unit per mill, ASHRAE A3 at the face, why the intake is the room's own circuit, and what liquid would have cost.
