You carry long lead times, allocation commitments and warranty exposure against customers whose own contracts move faster than the hardware cycle. We price what a delivery slip or a generation reset actually costs you, on both sides of the order.
A single change on your delivery schedule cascades through EPC, commissioning, tenant fit-out and lease triggers, usually discovered by the customer, not the supplier.
Before you sign a multi-year allocation or supply agreement, know your warranty exposure and the termination cost if you slip.
Read your supply agreements against your own allocation and manufacturing roadmap, not the customer's assumptions about it.
An allocation shortfall, an export-control update, or a generation reset, and every affected order re-rates automatically.
Delivery and allocation risk sits upstream of every AI infrastructure contract, and is rarely priced explicitly at signature.
Export-control and end-use restrictions can attach to the hardware itself, independent of the commercial terms.
A generation reset or new architecture can leave allocated inventory and warranty obligations on hardware customers no longer want.
A small number of large customers can weaken, downsize or cancel after you have committed allocation around them.
