Where it comes from.

• No adjectives on data. The pages print values and changes. They never say strong, weak, surging or collapsing. Form your own view.
• One publisher per number. Nothing is blended, smoothed or re-based without saying so.
• Public and free only. No licensed series. Where a good series exists but is paid, the gap is left visible rather than filled with a scraped substitute.
• Stale is labelled. Every panel carries the period of the data and the time it was fetched. A collector that fails leaves the last good value and marks it stale.
• No third-party code, and no third-party analytics. Feeds are fetched on the server and rendered as links, never embedded. The only script these pages load besides their own is a self-hosted Umami counter running on the author's own server: it sets no cookies, stores no personal data and sends nothing to anyone else, which is why there is no cookie banner. Nothing else on these pages calls out to anybody.
  From 21 September 2026 it also counts one thing that is not a page view: when you follow a link off this site, it records the publisher's hostname and the page you were on. Not the full address you went to, not where you came from, nothing about you. It exists because this record's central claim is that every figure links to the publisher that issued it, and until that date nobody had ever counted whether a reader follows one.
• What this site keeps in your browser, all three of them. None is ever transmitted, none is tied to an account, and none is readable by any other website. They are readable by other pages of THIS site, which is how a browser works and is stated here rather than glossed over. One: marking an item read or starring it on the Archive, in localStorage; that page prints how much it is holding and has a button that deletes all of it. Two: the last three page titles behind "continue where you left off" on the start page, in localStorage; its button both forgets them and stops the site recording any more, and nothing is recorded again unless you press it a second time. Three: whether you switched this site to light or dark, in sessionStorage, which your browser discards when you close the tab. All three are named here rather than left to the phrase "no cookies": European rules exempt storage that is strictly necessary for something you explicitly asked for, and pressing a star or a theme button is exactly that. The second one is a convenience nobody asked for, which is why it carries an off switch instead.
• One scale per chart. Two measures of different magnitude get two charts, never two axes on one.

• Korean and Japanese issuers do not publish monthly revenue. Only Taiwan-listed companies have a monthly line.
• The Taiwan series carries the current month only at source, so its history accumulates forward from the first collector run rather than backfilling.
• The filings table covers SEC filers. Infineon, Renesas, Tokyo Electron and others report elsewhere and are absent from it.
• X and Twitter have no reliable free programmatic access, so they are not a source.
• The cloud regions on the fab map are the four largest operators' own published region lists. They are not a data-centre map: colocation operators, enterprise sites, Chinese operators and unannounced leased capacity are all absent, and a region is one or more buildings whose addresses nobody publishes, so each marker is the city or area the provider names. OpenStreetMap was considered and rejected: its data-centre coverage varies so much by country that a map built from it would show mapping effort rather than compute, and it is share-alike where everything else here is public domain or open government data.
• Nobody publishes fab electricity consumption per site, and no operator's own report separates it from the rest of the company. The energy page therefore stops at national totals, which is as far as the public record goes.

Eindhoven, in the Brainport region of the Netherlands. That is where the work is done, and it is the whole of the claim.

What it does not buy. No access, no proximity and no source that is not listed on this page. Being down the road from a company is not a way of knowing anything about it, and this record would be identical if it were written anywhere else. Every figure here comes from a document anyone can open.

As a fact about the record: 5 of the 177 companies here are registered in the Netherlands, ASM International, ASML, Besi, NXP and Nexperia, and the fab list holds 2 fabrication or packaging sites in the country. This record stores a country for a company and not a city, so it cannot tell you which of them are neighbours and it does not guess. The 5, on the companies page →
