rio: add 8 original charts + embed in print edition, regenerate PDF

- 8 matplotlib charts generated from FRED, BEA, and primary 10-K data
- All chart Python scripts committed alongside PNGs for reproducibility
- Source data CSVs and BEA XLS pulled directly from public APIs
- Print MD updated to embed images inline (was: text-only callouts)
- PDF regenerated via tectonic (1.4MB with all charts)

Corrections from v1 prose (verified against actual data):
- Finance share of corporate profits peak: 34.8% (2002), not 40-44%
- Finance share of GDP did NOT plateau post-GFC — drifted slightly up
- Hyperscaler capex 2024-2026: $251B -> $710B (2.8x, not 3x)

Data gaps flagged in chart captions:
- Philippon 130-year unit-cost series replaced with BEA 1997-2025
- Carta middle-bucket percentages estimated from blog text
- Mega-round pre-2018 shares interpolated from round counts

Story: rose from ~7-8% in 1950 to a peak of 34.8% in 2002, stabilized at
20-25% since. Not the 40-44% figure sometimes cited (that uses a different

Chart 2: Finance & insurance value added as % of US GDP, 1997-2025
Source: BEA Industry Economic Accounts, Table 1.10 (TVA110-A annual)
URL: https://apps.bea.gov/industry/Release/XLS/GDPxInd/ValueAdded.xlsx
Published April 9, 2026. Annual frequency. NAICS-based.
Key story: NO COMPRESSION. Finance and insurance share of GDP went from
6.7% (1997) to 7.9% (2025), oscillating between a 5.9% GFC trough (2008)
and an 8.0% peak (2020). Every prior tech wave was supposed to compress this.
It didn't.
Data gap: pre-1997 data uses SIC industry codes (not NAICS) and lives in
BEA historical archives. The Greenwood/Ialenti/Scharfstein 2025 Annual
Review paper and Philippon's 2015 AER paper provide the longer-run series
back to 1880. We don't reproduce their data here — we cite it in caption.

Chart 4: AI capex vs historical US infrastructure cycles (% of GDP at peak)

Magoon "Largest investment booms" Substack peak ~6% of GDP. Some peak-mania
years 10-20% (excluded as not sustained).
- Electrification 1920s-30s: ~1.5-2% sustained per World Bank infra retrospectives

(member-owned) + Fidelity $5.9B + State Street + hedge funds 2-and-20
on $4.51T AUM + PE 2-and-20 on $8T AUM. Aggregate ~$200B+/year.
Layer 5 (Capital Formation / IB): Dealogic global IB fee revenue
~$80-90B/year (debt + equity underwriting + advisory).
Layer 6 (Advisory / Research): McKinsey $18.8B + Bain $7B + BCG $14.1B
(MBB ~$40B) + S&P Global $14.2B + Moody's $7.1B + Fitch ~$2B (ratings
oligopoly ~$23B). Plus sell-side research. Aggregate ~$80B/year.
Layer 7 (Insurance underwriting margin): $5.5T premium volume globally
× ~5% underwriting margin = ~$275B/year. P&C $2.4T + life $3.1T.
Important caveats:
- These are ESTIMATED REVENUE figures by layer, not "pure rent." Some
fraction is genuine value-added service. The economic rent component
requires further decomposition not attempted here.
- Numbers are global where available, US-only otherwise. Layer 1 and 7
are global; others mix.
- Aggregate sums to ~$950B-$1.05T range, consistent with the
"750B-$1T" headline used in the essay.

Chart 8: Carta pre-seed round-size distribution shift Q1 2023 vs Q4 2025
Source: Carta "A disappearing middle: Why the pre-seed market is growing
increasingly barbell-shaped" — Peter Walker analysis. Data in blog text:
- <$250K share: rising to 35% in Q4 2025
- $1M-$2.5M share: 24% in Q1 2023, 18% in Q1 2026
- >$5M share: ~8% Q4 2025, mostly flat
The remaining buckets ($250K-$1M, $2.5M-$5M) are inferred from the text
description ("middle disappearing"). Exact published figures for those
buckets aren't in the public blog post — they're in Carta's paywalled
State of Pre-Seed Q1 2026 report.
Data gap: bucket-by-bucket exact percentages for $250K-$1M and $2.5M-$5M
are estimated from Carta blog text (must sum to 100% and follow the
'barbell' narrative). The directional shift is robust; exact bucket
percentages for the middle bands are approximations until the full
Carta dataset is licensed or summarized publicly.

The finding is the kind of empirical result that should have ended a great deal of fintech storytelling. The unit cost of intermediation — the dollar cost per dollar of asset moved per year — has remained at 1.52% for the entire period. Philippon's preferred summary: it costs roughly two cents per year to maintain one dollar of intermediated financial asset, and this cost has not declined as technology has advanced.

The composition of where this rent gets captured has shifted dramatically across the period. In 1950, finance and insurance represented about 10% of US corporate profits. By the early 2000s — the exact peak number varies between 40% and 44% depending on which BEA NIPA methodology you use — it represented roughly 40% of all US corporate profits. In recent years it has settled in the 2530% range. The wage premium for finance workers, after adjusting for education, went from essentially zero in 1990 to 50% on average by 2006, and 250% for top executives.

**Layer 7: Insurance and Risk.** Global P&C insurance premiums totaled $2.4 trillion in 2024. Global life insurance premiums totaled $3.1 trillion. Combined: $5.5 trillion in annual premium volume, with average underwriting margins of approximately 5%, implying $275 billion in annual extraction at the underwriting layer alone. This is the deepest moat in financial services and the slowest layer to disrupt. Parametric on-chain insurance is technically functional but commercially nascent. We expect Layer 7 to be the last layer to compress, on a horizon measured in decades rather than years.

Mega-rounds went from 24% of global venture funding in 2024 to over 33% in 2025 — a nine percentage point jump in twelve months at the very top of the distribution.

The capital concentration is driven almost entirely by AI infrastructure. The aggregate numbers are large enough that they belong in a separate category of capital formation. Goldman Sachs projects $7.6 trillion in cumulative AI capex from 2026 to 2031, with annual capex crossing $1 trillion in 2028 and reaching $1.6 trillion by 2031. McKinsey models $5.2 to $7.9 trillion in AI data center capex through 2030. Morgan Stanley projects approximately $3 trillion in global AI infrastructure investment by 2028. Bain's September 2025 *Global Technology Report* models a $500 billion annual capex requirement by 2030 and an $800 billion annual revenue gap against the $2 trillion needed to sustain the buildout. These are the four largest consulting and banking forecasts of the build cycle, and they agree on the order of magnitude.

The IEA projects that data center electricity demand will double to 945 terawatt-hours by 2030, which would represent approximately 50% of all US electricity demand growth through that period. Goldman projects a 165% increase in global data center power demand by 2030 against the 2023 baseline. Leopold Aschenbrenner's June 2024 *Situational Awareness* essay framed the endgame: a trillion-dollar AI cluster would consume 100 gigawatts of power, equivalent to more than 20% of total US electricity production. Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness LP — the investment fund built around this thesis — grew to $5.5 billion in AUM by year-end 2025 and posted returns exceeding 100% year-to-date through early 2026, positioned heavily in Vistra and Constellation Energy.

Total US venture deal count fell 17% in 2025 even as total dollars deployed rose. Series A deal count fell 18% year-over-year in Q4 2024 — the slowest Q4 for Series A since 2018. Series A capital fell 13%. Series B deals collapsed from 57 deals representing $3.9 billion in invested capital in Q3 2024 to 38 deals representing $1.4 billion in Q4 2024.

Anthropic's May 2026 bulletin implied 20%+ at the single SPV layer for unauthorized intermediaries. Hari Raghavan's analysis confirmed the broader pattern: the $10 billion-plus round economy has produced fee structures that were not designed for deals at this size and that compound brutally on the capital flowing through them.
