🧠 Applicable Mental Models¶
S-curve (4× in NOK articles)¶
Definition: The S-curve describes the pattern of adoption or performance improvement over time, starting slow, accelerating, then plateauing as limits are reached.
When to apply: Use to analyze technology adoption cycles or when a new technology may surpass an incumbent.
Example invocations: - AI demand is seen as following an S-curve with fits and starts, but long-term support. - The article discusses how Chinese foundries are moving up the technology curve via M&A to compete with TSMC.
Platform Moat (4× in NOK articles)¶
Definition: A platform moat refers to competitive advantages that protect a platform business from rivals, such as network effects, switching costs, or data advantages.
When to apply: Use to evaluate the defensibility of a platform business model.
Example invocations: - Nvidia's full outlook is priced in, limiting upside; Broadcom has skepticism but potential. - ByteDance's phone project aims to free itself from Apple and Google's platform dominance.
Cost Curve (2× in NOK articles)¶
Definition: The cost curve shows the relationship between production volume and cost per unit, typically declining with scale due to efficiencies.
When to apply: Apply to assess competitive advantage from scale economies or to predict pricing trends.
Example invocations: - Intel's low yield is accepted because TSMC's zero allocation is worse. - Applied to PAM4 vs NRZ signaling, where PAM4 gives 30% lower power and cost per bit.
Disruption Theory (2× in NOK articles)¶
Definition: Disruption theory explains how smaller companies with simpler, cheaper innovations can displace established incumbents by targeting overlooked segments.
When to apply: Use to identify potential threats from new entrants or to craft disruptive strategies.
Example invocations: - Used to analyze the iPhone's impact on Nokia and the smartphone market. - The article discusses how Nokia and BlackBerry failed to adapt to the smartphone disruption due to complacency.
Paradigm Shift (2× in NOK articles)¶
Definition: A paradigm shift is a fundamental change in the underlying assumptions or models of a field, often triggered by a revolutionary discovery.
When to apply: Apply to recognize transformative changes in technology, science, or business.
Example invocations: - The article contrasts the smartphone paradigm (Apple, AWS) with the emerging AI paradigm, arguing that companies must adapt or risk obsolescence. - Used to frame the transition from feature phones to smartphones and from smartphones/cloud to AI as fundamental changes that require new strategies.
