AI capex cycle alignment
Mapping confidence
The skill's conviction in this thesis-to-securities mapping — independent of the thesis's own confidence.
Membership unchanged; alignmentConfidence eases 0.85 to 0.84. 
AI capex sustained but with China decoupling tail risk eased on 
record capex without raised outlooks and 
Alphabet's negative free cash flow. The financing concern moved from the supplier side to the buyer side: 
Oracle's $20B funding cap eases it at ORCL, which firms, while NVDA eases a point as 
the chip names turned lower at the window's end. MU firms a point on a positive window.
