Is 52 weeks something you’ve made peace with?

We haven’t either.

Why this inventory exists

Every OEM will quote you that number and mean it. What they won’t tell you is when the clock starts — not at groundbreaking, but months in, once design is locked and financing closes. By then the concrete is poured. The interconnect is scheduled. The tenant has a signed date. So we buy real units and hold them — never run, factory load-tested, wrapped on the pallet with serials you can verify before you wire a dollar. Not because it’s clever. Because somebody has to have power on the ground when the calendar refuses to move.
