## 8a. Amendment, 17:1x UK: the market-structure axis, at the adversary lane's placed energies
The complete 2.0 plan (docs/plans/igneum-2.0.md at b943c047, the addendum) adds MARKET STRUCTURE as a scenario axis:
private supply (the operator self-mining a fixed fleet), public hardware sales (one manufacturer selling units at
twice their hardware term, buyers entering at cost up to a year's production), multiple suppliers (three derivative
designs at a 1.2x markup and three times the production), and concentration (the largest single supplier's share of
the chain's hash). The three chips are scored at the adversary lane's PLACED whole-machine energies (the design's
10.0r: the board 1.6x node-for-node and 1.9x a node ahead, the stored-half hybrid 2.4x and 2.9x, the die 2.4x and
3.3x, per joule against the 5090 at its lock; per-dollar unchanged), which replace the chip-model energies of
sections 2 and 12 for this axis. Budget USD 10 M (a fleet, or a year's production); entry at year 2; the bought
fleet is sunk and stays while revenue covers its power; the per-class GPU supply curve of section 9. Script
`scratchpad/market.py` on build-4, 17:07 UK; all modelled.
First, the chips re-scored at the placed energies (sunk, 3 years, at 0.06):
| Chip, placed energy | Cost per accepted MH/s-hour, node-for-node / a node ahead | (a) against the best Blackwell owner at 0.12 (line 1.5x) | (b) hardware over the 5080 entrant's (line 0.25) | (e) joules at the knee (line 3x): vs the 5090 lock / the 5070 Ti knee | Label |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GDDR7 board, 1.6x / 1.9x | 363 / 343 micro-USD | 0.72x / 0.76x: PASSES | 0.52: PASSES | 1.6x / 1.2x; 1.9x / 1.4x: PASSES | modelled on the adversary lane's rows |
| Stored-half hybrid, 2.4x / 2.9x | 186 / 172 | 1.41x / 1.52x: ON THE LINE | 0.23: FAILS by a hair | 2.4x / 1.75x; 2.9x / 2.1x: PASSES | the same |
| N2 SRAM die, 2.4x / 3.3x | 115 / 92 | 2.29x / 2.84x: FAILS | 0.07: FAILS | 2.4x / 1.75x; 3.3x / 2.4x: PASSES today, on the line a node ahead | the same |
At the placed energies the die passes (e) where the chip-model energy failed it, and still fails (a), (b), (c) and
(f): its ticket, not its joules, is what fails it, which is the floor file's reading from the other side.

Reading, per structure:
1. **Private supply** is the first cut's row: the board coexists (5 to 24 percent of the chain at a 12 to 63 percent
margin, 6 to 16 classes above water) except in a shrinking chain's last year; the hybrid coexists in a growing
chain (10 to 19 percent) and takes a flat or shrinking one (64 to 100 percent by year 5); the die takes the chain
on every flat or shrinking path by year 3 to 5 and holds 30 to 50 percent of a growing one.
2. **Public hardware sales** LOWER the board's and raise the hybrid's and the die's share: a manufacturer's markup
doubles the buyer's hardware term, which is most of the board's cost (its share falls to 3 to 8 percent, with 4 to
16 classes above water) and a small part of the die's (its cumulative production takes 79 to 100 percent of the
chain by year 3 to 5 on every path). Selling the die is worse for coexistence than mining it privately, because a
sold fleet keeps growing while the price covers its power and a private one is fixed.
3. **Multiple suppliers** raise every chip's share (three times the production at a lower markup) and lower the
largest supplier's share to a third of it: the board's three suppliers hold 24 to 66 percent of the chain between
them at 8 to 22 percent each with 6 to 15 classes above water in the growing and flat paths (coexistence with a
less concentrated supply), and take a shrinking chain outright; the hybrid's and the die's three suppliers take the
chain on every path but the growing one (49 to 100 percent), with the largest at a third.
4. **Concentration** is the fourth column: a private fleet is one operator and one supplier at its whole share; a
sold fleet is one supplier at its whole share and many operators; three suppliers cap any one at a third. The
dependence table of section 11 reads the same fact in wafers: the chain is 17 to 128 N2 wafers from one supplier
at any price in the window.
The condition this adds to section 12: (h) the supply structure. The success statement holds for the board under
every structure in the growing and flat paths (its largest supplier never above 24 percent of the chain, its margin
a normal return, 6 to 16 classes above water) and fails for it only in a shrinking chain's last year; it holds for the
hybrid only under private supply in a growing chain; it fails for the die under every structure on every path except
private supply in a growing chain, and a sold or multi-sourced die is worse than a privately mined one. Hardware
sales and multiple suppliers, which the GPU side has by nature, are what make a chip's supply grow with the price and
are therefore not a mitigation for the die; they are one for the board, whose cost is the hardware they mark up.

# The coexistence sensitivity workbook: every threshold figure with the assumptions that produce it
8 October 2026, 17:1x UK, branch `class-v6-floor-sram`, floor lane 3, Igneum 2.0 D4 (the research lane's pin of 17:xx UK). Every row here is a figure produced today by the floor file (`docs/analysis/class-v6/floor/sram-and-floor.md`), the coexistence model (`docs/analysis/class-v6/coexistence-model.md`) or this lane's scripts, with the assumption that produces it in its own column, so that a reader can change one column and see the figure move. **Nothing in this table is a boundary the chain stays below; every figure is modelled unless its label says otherwise, and the model document cites this workbook instead of stating a threshold in prose.** Generated by `scratchpad/market.py` on build-4 (the rows, 17:07 UK) from the same code that produced the documents' tables; the condition lines are judgement lines, labelled as such. The founder is not named.
## How to read a row
`figure` is the quantity; `value` and `unit` its number; the next columns are the assumptions that produce it (`n/a` where the figure does not depend on that assumption); `GPU_cost_basis` says whether the GPU side is priced at MSRP or street and which card and operating point; `emission_years` says which years of the spec's constant the figure integrates; `price_assumption` carries an IGN price where one is assumed and `solved` where the price is the output; `source_section` is where the figure is used; `label` is measured, modelled, approximate or a judgement line.
The standing assumptions behind every surface row unless the row says otherwise: the spec's emission (0.77 / 0.80 / 0.40 / 0.40 / 0.20 / 0.20 / 0.10 / 0.10 B IGN to miners in years 1 to 8), the project starting at launch and mining for `life_y` years after `pre_production_y`, mid-year discounting, the chip's margin `1 - (0.000084 / edge + capex / (life x 8,766)) / 0.00092` with the 5090 at the lock over two years at MSRP as the GPU all-in cost (USD 0.00092 per MH/s-hour, 0.000084 of it electricity), the fleet capital and residual dropped (under 2 percent of revenue). The break-even electricity rows assume 97 percent accepted work, a 1 percent pool fee, a 5 percent wear allowance on the used price for the owner, a two-year life with the table's resale for the entrant, and the chip at USD 0.06 per kWh plus USD 0.02 of hosting with development sunk.
