  value: No revenue segmentation by application (AI vs. non-AI), no discussion of inventory build-up or channel stuffing, no mention of customer concentration risk or contract terms
additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: Combines TSMC’s market stature, its association with known AI leaders (Nvidia, Google), and the phrase 'buoyant AI demand' to create a self-reinforcing signal — making the growth feel larger, more specific, and more inevitable than the evidence supports, while sidestepping the need for granular validation.
