Build the demand stack — who buys the intelligence

Market proof (Jun 2026): Google now pays SpaceX US$920M/mo and Anthropic US$1.25B/mo for rented compute — ~US$26B/yr from the world's most sophisticated buyers, who build their own data centres and still ran out. If they rent, sovereign buyers rent. None of that capacity is Australian. Cluster-size check (SEC FWP): Google's deal = ~110,000 GPUs ≈ ~77 MW — comparable to a Q1 build-out stage by power; the full 800 MW program many times larger.

Toggle parties in or out and drag their demand. Everything aggregates live against Stage-1 and the build-out. Your assembly is saved in this browser. 1 MW ≈ ~483 MI455X GPUs ≈ $8.5m/yr at benchmark rates.

Demand vs capacity

030 MW (Stage-1)

Status honesty: QGOV — workloads live (QChat/QGCS), QWork channel live, volumes in negotiation. Logan City Council — workloads live. UQ & QUT — conversations underway, nothing signed. Demand MW figures are working assumptions for deal assembly, not commitments.

The ramp — how demand fills the capacity staircase

Each colour is an organisation; the stack is total demand growing over time. The grey staircase is available capacity — each step is built only when the stack underwrites it. Named demand underwrites the path to ~100 MW (the investable ramp); 800 MW is the connection-enabled optionality, not a forecast. Per-org targets are planning estimates, not contracted volumes. Green dots mark when the stack fills a tranche. Drag the 2033 targets below to reshape the ramp.

Ramp targets — MW by ramp end, per organisation

Ramp shapes are smooth S-curves from today's live workloads to each organisation's target (QGOV's anchors to the ~$1.17B/yr 2033 trajectory ≈ 47 MW at A$25m/MW/yr). The unnamed band is EOI-register + future tenancies — dashed because nothing there is named yet. Capacity is never built ahead of underwriting: the staircase follows the stack, not the other way around.

Offtake tenancies — the compute rent roll

Capacity is sold as tenancies: term agreements over contracted-MW blocks — the data-centre rent roll, applied to compute. QWork is Tenancy 01, the anchor. Toggle tenancies, size the blocks, set term and rate; WALE and underwrite recompute live.

Contract shape (per the SpaceX–Google SEC FWP): capacity ramp at reduced fees → full monthly rent; hard delivery deadline with pro-rata abatement for GPU shortfall; termination on notice after a lock-in date. That is the tenancy template Q1 papers.

Rates: benchmark A$8.5m/MW/yr (~483 MI455X GPUs × $2.35/hr × 85%; MI455X $/GPU-hr pre-NDA). Anchor rate −20% reflects term + credit quality; sovereign premium +20% reflects AU-only residency workloads. No tenancy is signed yet — QWork's channel is live, volumes and tenancy docs are in negotiation. This is a structuring tool, not a rent roll of executed leases.

GPUs are financeable/resaleable — vendor finance cuts the equity cheque materially. Fixed opex held at pilot scale ≤2 MW with operating leverage above (~$0.5M/MW marginal). GPU count from MI455X/Helios facility density (~483 GPU/MW); GPU capex held at H100-class $28k/GPU pending MI455X quotes — modelled estimate, pre-NDA.

Risk register

GPU price decay managed
Payback ~2.4 yr sits inside the 4-yr depreciation window; model stress-tested to $1.80/hr and 65% utilisation; the demand-aggregation margin is price-agnostic.
Utilisation managed
The switch routes owned tenant demand first (Tailor #1, EOI register) — not a cold sales pipeline. QGOV offtake has a named, live channel: QWork, the flagship system already serving Tailor-delivered work (FAIRA). Volume ramps with QWork AI adoption rather than from a standing start.
Single-site / single-landlord concentration managed
CleanCo is QLD-government-owned (stable counterparty); N-1 connection; capital staged so build follows proven demand.
PFAS / environmental legacy managed
Closed-loop design consumes and discharges nothing — contained by construction. Named up front with CleanCo's environmental team, not discovered in diligence.
Capex intensity managed
GPUs ~69% of the raise and resaleable/financeable. Vendor finance or GPU leasing materially cuts the equity cheque; the model shows the all-equity worst case.
Frontier-lab dependency managed
The owned substrate is the floor: if lab terms worsen, traffic lands on our silicon. Two supply sources, one switch — by design.

Open tensions — decisions, not risks

Renewable provenance vs gas firming. aloomu.au claims "contracted renewable supply, no greenwashing via offsets" — but Swanbank's firm capacity is a 385 MW gas plant. Resolution options: (a) battery-first framing with gas as transitional firming on CleanCo's Clean-Energy-Hub trajectory, or (b) soften the provenance claim. Investor/journalist will find this in minutes — decide before the deck goes out.
QGOV framing discipline. The offtake channel is real and live — QWork, the QGOV flagship system, already serving Tailor-delivered work (FAIRA). But $15M→$1.17B remain market-sizing numbers and no compute volume is contracted. Framing: "offtake via QWork — channel live, volumes in negotiation" — never "committed offtake".
Raise shape. ~$760m all-equity into a Pty Ltd mid-incorporation is a hard ask. Natural shape: smaller equity round to close CleanCo/Powerlink terms + long-lead items, then vendor finance + infra debt for the build. Decide the ask shape before the deck states a number.

What's de-risked vs what's open

✅ De-risked / live

• Sovereign switch live at aloomu.au/v1 (residency guard, failover, audit trail)
• Stage-0 silicon serving 8 open-weight models with public telemetry
• Swanbank Battery operational at full output (Feb 2026) — fresh 275 kV substation on precinct
• Site facts grounded; thesis, terms, financial model, deck, dashboard written
• Tailor as customer #1; QGOV offtake channel live via QWork (flagship system — FAIRA delivered behind QWork links, Organisation-gated)

◻ Open items (gating)

Land lease $/ha/yr + term — the model's one placeholder
• CleanCo: BTM firming access + dam access + PFAS containment sign-off
• Powerlink: confirm spare energised capacity + connection timeline
• Real MI455X GPU capex + fit-out quotes (currently $28k/GPU H100-basis, $9k/kW assumed; MI455X pricing pre-NDA)
• Raise shape decision (staged equity + vendor finance vs all-equity)
• Renewable-provenance framing decision
QGOV compute volumes/terms through QWork — channel is live, contract is not
