DESCRIPTION
The AI economy isn't one industry — it's a 7-layer pyramid. From the factory that prints chips to the humanoid robots that will eventually do physical labor, every AI company on earth depends on this stack. In this complete breakdown, we map the entire AI economy layer by layer and cover the dominant company at each level: the thesis, the moat, the financials, and the risks.
For each company we cover:
✅ The business thesis and competitive moat
✅ Latest financials and key metrics
✅ Major risks (geopolitical, valuation, execution, competition)
✅ How they fit into the broader AI build-out
