Who builds wafergraph

wafergraph is built and maintained by Jason Palmer, a finance operator in Austin, Texas, independently — no team, no investors, and no company can pay to appear, rank higher, or look better in it. It exists because underwriting deals teaches you to ask where something breaks rather than how good it could be, and no plain map of the chip supply chain's dependencies and thin points was available: plenty of news, plenty of expensive terminals, no map. The map, the studies, the deal history, the weekly briefing, the data exports and the MCP server are free and require no account; the paid report and alerts fund the maintenance rather than gating what makes the work useful. Standing commitments: no paid placement ever, every qualitative claim traceable to a source, coverage gaps disclosed rather than smoothed over, and corrections made in public. Credentials: BBA Finance, University of Texas at Austin; FINRA Series 65. Nothing on wafergraph is investment advice.
