Map relationships
Follow suppliers, customers, partners, investments, ownership and competition across the full AI stack.
THE DATABASE
Search, filter and research every company on the map.
Real tickers where a company is publicly traded, plain-English profiles, competitors and same-layer peers, plus dated ETF holdings where verified — so you can go from "what is this company" to "how does it fit in" in one click.

01 / MISSION
MAKE THE AI ECONOMY VISIBLE
Most people see products.
We map the system beneath them.
AI is not one industry. It is a chain of power generation, fabrication equipment, chips, data centers, cloud platforms, models, software and physical machines. This database — and the relationship map behind it — show how those layers depend on one another, and the evidence behind every connection.
Show the evidence
Every published connection is tied to a readable source, date, classification and statement of its limits.
Separate signal from hype
Current operations, dated announcements and competitive comparisons remain visibly distinct — and ETF snapshots show their source dates and evidence limits.
Explain it plainly
Built for intelligent non-specialists who want the system without reading hundreds of filings.
FOUNDER'S NOTE
“AI optimism
without bullshit.”
Acts of Evolution is an independent educational research project founded by Steven Dudley. It begins with a simple question: what is actually being built, why does it matter, and how are the companies building it connected?
We cover opportunity and constraint with equal seriousness. Inclusion in this database is not an endorsement of a company or its securities.
