Why this image
I chose a half-built data center weighed against a stack of blank stock certificates because this story is about selling shares to pay for AI infrastructure. I kept the certificates blank and left out any logo so the image shows the trade-off without pointing at a brand.

Editorial illustration in a flat, muted risograph print style: a vast, half-built data center hall seen from a high angle, with long rows of dark server racks under construction and a few cranes overhead. In the foreground, a giant set of old brass balance scales: one pan holds a tall neat stack of blank paper stock certificates with no writing, the other pan holds a glowing cube made of thin circuit lines. Soft dawn light comes through high windows. Deep blue, warm gold, slate grey and off-white palette. No people, no faces, no hands, no logos, no brand marks, no signs, no text, letters or numbers anywhere. Wide 16:9 composition.
