THE BOTTLENECK REPORT
Welcome to the home of Spencer Ogden’s Bottleneck Report. Each issue isolates the single hiring bottleneck slowing the buildout of AI-ready and critical infrastructure in a given market, maps it region by region, and shows you exactly what the operators staying on schedule are doing about it. New issues land every quarter. Start with the latest below.
Budget rarely stalls a major infrastructure programme. A single hard-to-fill role often does. Every quarter our market analysts run the numbers across an entire region, isolate the one function carrying the most delay risk, and pressure-test it against live hiring data. The result is one role named, one market mapped, and a clear picture of what’s actually working for the teams hitting their dates.
