Reading AI & Hyperscalers against the engine

The theme is measured through AIQ (alternates: BOTZ) — common vehicles for this exposure, named for education, not recommendation. Two comparisons carry the information: the theme against the global Technology sector (is the theme leading or lagging its own sector?) and against its sibling themes on this desk (where inside tech the money actually sits). Daily readings load above; the dispersion desk shows who inside each vehicle is doing the work.
