Score = concentration + substitution + lead time + inelasticity, each 0–3, an analyst judgement dated 2026-09-15; open a score for its rationale and assessment. Makers are those the corpus records, not the whole market. No market-share figure is sourced, so none is shown.

03What could loosen its grip

about its chokepoints, not the company
  • High-temperature superconducting magnets

    Magnets wound from ceramic tape that carries current without resistance, strong enough to hold a fusion plasma in a machine small enough to build quickly.

Readiness is the 1–9 technology-readiness scale, a dated judgement; open a figure for the reasoning and its source.

05Ways to take part

how to reach it, not whether to

Not investment advice. This says how the public can reach a company — a job, its shares, its products — not whether anyone should. It takes no account of anyone’s circumstances, and a company holding a chokepoint is not a reason to own it. What this is not

06Hiring

from its public job board

All 12 (Computed: Count of postings currently listed on the public job boards Substrata reads, after the page’s filters. By default software and business roles that name no bottleneck are left out; "Every role" puts them back.) open roles, read daily from the company’s public job board. Official careers page ↗

07What this holds up

2 loops

A loop is one design, build and measure turn. Severity is a dated judgement on a 0–12 scale, not a measurement, and the judgements are not added together — the figure shown is the worst single one.
