Is there a chip shortage, constantly updating, status visualization?


Similar to what we had with the Suez canal blockage in March. A reliable place I can go in the morning to see the change / tendency. Thanks

It's far more complicated and unlikely.

Many companies and industries, which is taking place over years, with supply/demand mechanics, and lots of private data needed to understand it in detail.

It's not a fancy dashboard, but has the most granular and up-to-date info that I've seen specifically for chips and electronics so far.

Funny you should ask. I just had a meeting with sales person from https://www.z2data.com/ today. They provide all sorts of analysis per part and at the BOM level including risk analysis of the specific item and company.

The only possible kind of dashboard would be something around the price of the thing you are most interested in. There is not clear public data on actual supply numbers for obvious reasons
