How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

if you could provide some details on how you guys are performing there from an uptime and utilization perspective?
Show response
Kent answered directly, citing telemetry/automation and customer feedback that uptime and issue response are favorable, with white-labeling to other CSPs as external validation.
would you be able to kind of continue to run Bitcoin mining until full cutover occurred? Or like how would that work?
Show response

Show response
Dan gave specifics, multiple site visits, due diligence, exclusivity/ROFR discussions, and expressed high confidence of contracting ahead of Q4 commissioning, with customers focused on a path to scale.

I'm curious how you guys go about appraising the value of that, like how you think about it?

can you talk a little bit about how conversations have changed and whether there is more urgency

how you guys underwrite or approach underwriting in this type of environment
