Probability when written (black), then after each evidence update: green raised it, red lowered it. Fixed arithmetic; each step cites the claim that moved it.

Pillars

What has to be true. Each is updated on its own evidence.

  • 72%
    Google Cloud maintains or grows its 80% AI product adoption rate and 90% Fortune 100 Gemini usage
  • 61%
    Daily token consumption continues to scale from 105T levels with accelerating paid enterprise workloads
  • 55%
    from 52%
    Low per-token pricing combined with volume and smart routing still delivers sufficient monetization to reach the target run-rate
  • 68%
    Production deployments (Home Depot, PayPal, Virgin Media) convert usage metrics into sustained revenue growth

Kill facts

Stated in advance. If one fires on a filing or a print, the thesis is flagged.

  • Google Cloud AI product adoption stalls or declinesopen
  • Number of customers processing >1T tokens stops growingopen
  • Daily token consumption fails to expand from current levelsopen
  • SMB AI tool usage growth falls below multi-fold levelsopen
  • Fortune 100 Gemini Enterprise adoption drops below critical massopen
  • OpenAI or Anthropic cloud-partner revenue growth outpaces Google Cloud AI usage metricsopen
