Signal of the WeekIndex: The CFO Gap →
Infra Rpc Data is sitting at a 100.0% stale 60 plus ratio today
Infra Rpc Data reached a 100.0% stale 60 plus ratio today. That is the number to lead with because it compresses the whole sub-sector into one backlog signal.
The prior snapshot was 100.0%, so the level is holding steady at an elevated stall. The signal is the sustained position above 80%, not a one day move.
The next question is which companies are carrying the oldest open finance roles and whether those seats cluster around the same operating bottleneck. That is where the canary belongs.
