About
Who stands behind the numbers.
SpotWire is an independent infrastructure intelligence publication for the physical AI infrastructure supply chain. We publish four composite reference indices — compute, interconnect, power, and facility — built from mixed inputs: observed prices, channel and integrator quotes or list prices, public infrastructure feeds, and regulatory or company disclosures. Each snapshot identifies the primitive used for each component.
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.

Matthew founded SpotWire in 2026 and edits the publication. He builds and operates the data engine behind the indices — the collection jobs, the composites, and the integrity guards — from Gainesville, Texas. Corrections and methodology questions reach him directly at press@spotwire.ai.
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, configured and effective weights, source tiers, collection windows, and price primitives. Changes land in a public changelog — methodology revisions are disclosed, never silent.
Self-reporting integrity guards
/data/methodology.json
The current snapshot carries source-specific counts and any emitted single-source or vendor-concentration warnings. When a component is sparse or depends on one source, 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.
Immutable citations
/cite
Each collection snapshot has a content-derived identifier and an immutable URL. Citation formats are generated from the current payload.
Corrections
When we get a number wrong, we say so. Corrections are disclosed in the methodology changelog with what changed and why. Immutable collection snapshots and historical source files retain their own identities. To report an error: press@spotwire.ai.
