Reading context — what each signal type is (we classify nothing for you)
AI/data-center capexA company disclosed AI or data-center capital expenditures in a public filing. This is the company's own stated allocation — we surface it verbatim; we do not evaluate whether the spending was wise or excessive.
Buyback + AI co-filedA filing discloses both a share-buyback/capital-return and AI or data-center spending. Both items are on the public record from the same filer; we show them, we do not characterize the combination as a trade-off or a moral failing.
AI-linked exec compA proxy statement links executive compensation to AI or data-center performance metrics. This is the company's own incentive structure as disclosed to shareholders; we surface it, we do not adjudicate it.
Not yet surfaced (no sanctioned feed wired):
  • SEC XBRL company facts — structured capex vs labor cost time-series by CIK (data.sec.gov/api/xbrl/companyfacts/; requires CIK enumeration and XBRL tag parsing — not yet wired)
  • VC/IPO capital-raise pipeline (PitchBook/Crunchbase — paywalled, no sanctioned keyless feed)
  • SEC 13F institutional-holdings filings — AI-compute company ownership (complex XML; not yet parsed)

How the industry can do betterBEI · Better Standard

Separation of AI infrastructure capex announcements from shareholder return announcements — co-filing them creates interpretive pressure that investors and public bodies may not be equipped to parse. Independent board oversight of AI infrastructure commitments that materially affect public grid, water, and land systems. Transparent executive compensation structures that don't create incentives misaligned with public consequence.

All signals via SEC EDGAR full-text search. Aggregator, not author — we surface the company’s own disclosure verbatim and never adjudicate whether any capital allocation was appropriate. Co-disclosing capex and buyback items from the same filing is a factual record; we draw no conclusion from the juxtaposition (Humanity Ledger §2.6). Structured capex time-series (SEC XBRL), VC/IPO pipeline (PitchBook/Crunchbase), and 13F institutional holdings are tracked as pending until sanctioned feeds are wired. No bot-wall evasion.

Method & right of reply: every entry is a verbatim public record (an SEC filing) with a link to the source — we surface what the company itself disclosed; we do NOT assert any capital allocation was harmful, reckless, or unjust (aggregator, not author — no opinions). Showing that a company co-filed both capex and buyback disclosures is a factual record; we draw no conclusion from the juxtaposition (Humanity Ledger §2.6). Any named filer may contest an entry via research@brinley.institute.
