Compute Leverage

Leverage over a frontier training run, measured as switching cost times redeployment time.

Where allied control binds

Where allied export control actually binds: per facility, whether compute inside an allied regime traces to a parent beyond it — the structural arbitrage two regimes could be played against.

The 30 largest of 3,059 STRONG/OPAQUE classifications (ranked by H100-equivalent GPUs, STRONG first). Population: 4,257 public-source facilities have a resolved ownership-chain classification. Facility rows sourced from licensed databases are excluded from this instrument entirely. Regime snapshot v2026-04-25. The interactive analyzer (requires JavaScript) loads the complete set with severity/jurisdiction filters, search, and per-facility chain detail; the toolbar above exports the full set as CSV or JSON.

How the analyzer classifies each facility

Four-step deterministic pipeline; every step is reproducible against the substrate plus the versioned regime snapshot linked below.

1. Chain walk

Per facility, the classifier starts at COALESCE(operator_org_id, owner_org_id, hardware_owner_org_id) and walks ownership_chain_edges upward, picking the highest-authority documented parent at each hop. Termination conditions: a publicly-listed entity (CIK present), a government entity, a public-filing-grade ancestor edge, a cycle, or 10 hops, whichever lands first. The walker is the same one the Facility Intelligence Card uses, so the card view and the analyzer never disagree about what the documented chain says.

2. Posture lookup

Each hop's country_hq normalizes to ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 and resolves through jurisdictional_regimes.json (v2026-04-25, built from the Wassenaar participant list, EU 2021/821, EU Delegated Regulation 2025/2189, national export-control authorities, and CSIS Allen & Goldston, March 2025). Hops whose country does not resolve surface as 'unrecognized' rather than getting silently bucketed.

3. Severity rule

STRONG when the chain reaches a non-aligned or restricted jurisdiction. MILD when the chain reaches at least one allied-partial jurisdiction without reaching a non-aligned/restricted one. OPAQUE when the chain terminates short of a public-filing or government endpoint AND no non-aligned/restricted jurisdiction has been documented; the gap may exist upstream but the public record does not say so. NONE when every documented jurisdiction is allied-coordinated AND the chain terminates at a documented endpoint.

4. Conservative defaults

If a chain terminates opaquely AND a non-aligned hop is already documented, the row is STRONG (the documented signal carries). If a chain has no documented jurisdictions at all, the row is OPAQUE (no fabrication, period). Operators with no organization linked at all surface as a separate data-quality bucket inside OPAQUE so they can be filtered out without contaminating the gap analysis.

Severity reference

STRONGChain reaches a non-aligned or restricted jurisdiction. Compute physically sitting in an allied posture has parent-chain control extending to a jurisdiction outside the coordinated framework; this is the coordination-arbitrage signal the allied coordination-gap analysis is built to surface.

OPAQUEChain terminates short of a public-filing or government endpoint. A coordination gap may exist upstream of the documented chain but the public record cannot confirm it. Surfaced explicitly rather than defaulted to NONE.

MILDChain reaches at least one allied-partial jurisdiction (Wassenaar member or EU dual-use applicable, but no AI-compute-specific instruments); coordination on AI-compute items is not end-to-end.

NONEEvery documented jurisdiction in the operator-to-ultimate-parent chain runs coordinated AI-compute export controls aligned with the US-led trilateral framework.

Regime classifications are versioned; snapshots live under data/processed/jurisdictional_regimes_versions/ so a researcher citing a Scrutica snapshot can re-run the classification against the historical regime data even after a later session updates the live file. Current snapshot: v2026-04-25 JSON snapshot.

The Center for a New American Security publishes a program-level Sovereign AI Index (Chavez, Chilukuri, Scanlon, April 2026), which readers working on jurisdictional control over AI compute will want alongside this page: cnas.org. The analyzer here works at facility granularity: every classification names one facility and the documented ownership chain behind it, and no country-level ranking is published — the severity scale escalates only as that chain reaches further into non-coordinated jurisdictions.
