Twelve Sources, One Dead Path

The verification centered on the statement that the semiconductor market is expected to surpass $1.6 trillion. The evidence pool consisted of 12 primary sources, all of which were opened and read. A single citation among them led to a dead web address, with the original path returning a 404 error. Rather than dropping the citation, reporters substituted an official KERI PDF in its place, keeping the source count intact and the documentation chain unbroken.

No Barriers to Access

Beyond that one broken link, access posed no obstacles. The review logged no instances of captcha prompts or login walls, meaning nothing in the set was skipped as unreachable. Every one of the 12 documents contributed to the final assessment of the market-size claim.

The Bottom Line

With 12 primary sources reviewed, one dead path repaired through an official KERI document, and no access barriers encountered, the projection of a semiconductor market exceeding $1.6 trillion was judged substantially sound rather than exact in every framing detail. The claim is rated Mostly True.
