What Watchpoints cards are
Watchpoint cards track the releases that lead the AI build-out cycle but rarely make front pages: TSMC’s monthly revenue, the Korean trade preliminaries, Taiwan export orders, SIA billings, and the memory makers’ monthly shipment data. These are the numbers where a turn in the cycle shows up first.
Each card places the release against its own trend and against the thesis it feeds — a Taiwan export print is read through the Rubin build-out lens, a Korea preliminary through the memory complex. The front page catches up weeks later.

Quick answers
What is a watchpoint on the Closelooknet tape?
A recurring leading-indicator release that matters to the AI build-out thesis but rarely makes headlines — TSMC monthly revenue, Korea trade preliminaries, Taiwan exports, SIA monthly billings and similar. Cards score each release against its trend.
Why do these releases lead the cycle?
They sit upstream of reported earnings: monthly revenue and trade data print weeks before the quarterly reports that summarize them, so cycle turns show up here first.
