ComputeCosts Observatory Report 001

This report documents the first epoch analysis of the Wikipedia archive of the ComputeCostsobservatory. The archive records daily pageview activity for a selected set of computeinfrastructure related Wikipedia articles and treats these observations as a measurable signal ofwhere practitioners and technically curious readers direct their conceptual attention. The analysed period runs from 1 January 2025 until 16 February 2026 and contains 8140observations spanning 407 days across 20 articles. Instead of examining short term fluctuations,the analysis deliberately collapses the entire period into a single robust baseline. Median dailypageviews are used in order to suppress temporary spikes caused by news events or onlinediscussions.
