Independence statement

Article 1 — Funding

1. Hardware Shortage Intelligence receives no sponsorship, advertising or contribution money from any hardware, foundry, memory or cloud party, nor from their competitors.
2. Income comes exclusively from advisory work (procurement strategy, architecture) at market-conforming rates. No advisory relationship has veto power over publication, tone or timing.
3. If this balance ever changes, the change will be reported on this page before the next edition.

Article 2 — Conflicts of interest

1. The editorial team holds no positions in memory- or GPU-related securities on the exchanges mentioned on the day of publication of an edition that names those securities. Price data on this site is context only, never a signal.
2. Receipt of free samples, review units or conference access from suppliers is tallied per edition in an events line; up to this edition: none.

Article 3 — Citing and reuse

1. Citing is permitted with source attribution and a backlink to the edition in question. Journalists: see the In-brief block on each dossier or mail editor@sx1.nl with the subject ‘Press’.
2. Reuse in commercial product datasets requires prior written permission; raw datasets (data/chart-data.json) are free to reuse with attribution.

Article 4 — Complaints and corrections

1. A primary source that finds itself misreported receives a substantive reply within five working days. Proven errors are corrected with a visible revision step — never by silently overwriting the old value.
2. Complaints about this independence statement itself: editor@sx1.nl.

Article 5 — Not investment advice

Nothing in this publication is investment advice, a recommendation or a price forecast within the meaning of financial supervision law. Research is research; decisions are yours.
