GPU Delivery Is Not One Financial Milestone

Abstract

GPU delivery evidence already performs a financial function. Our comparison of four filed agreements identifies distinct requirements for technical testing, customer acceptance, service payments and financing. The documents connect some of these requirements explicitly, but they do not reduce them to a single completion event. We derive an evidence-to-decision map and quantify the consequences in two transparent scenarios: seven days of service charges amount to US$430,080 for the assumed cluster, while seven days of carrying US$10 million at 8% costs US$15,342.47. A third analysis shows why earlier evidence changes funding timing only when the affected requirement is decisive. The commercial implication is specific: independent GPU evidence and coordinated requirements have a role where they resolve a named acceptance or financing task. CANUS should compete on completing that work, its cost and its reuse, rather than on another certificate alone.
