Drivers

What is driving the signal

Demand pressure84Data-center demand is rising in this demo scenario.
Supply constraint79Supply remains comparatively constrained.
Lead-time pressure92Longer delivery windows increase pressure.
Pricing power65Pricing is modeled as a supporting signal.
Backlog pressure78Backlog growth points to unfilled demand.
Capacity-growth pressure proxy60Inverted capacity growth; not a measured response time.

Analysis

Why this matters

In this fixture, demand and supply pressure indices rise across Q1–Q4, alongside longer lead times and higher backlog growth. These modeled inputs do not establish a lifecycle stage.
