VOLUME NEEDEDover 1.00x
Layer dollars = token volume x per-million capture. Model margin = volume x (price - infra - other).
Scenario arithmetic only. Not investment advice, a valuation, a forecast, or verified economics for NBIS, NVDA, ORCL, NOW, Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, Apple, Google, Grok, or any other company.
The thesis has a denominator.
Infrastructure dollars rise when future volume times infrastructure capture exceeds the baseline. A lower model price alone does not change that multiplication.
