Terms of Use & Data Policy

Last updated: 8 November 2026

1. What FiveDex is

FiveDex is an independent, informational index that measures real-world adoption of RISC-V processors by aggregating component-availability data from official electronics-distributor APIs. FiveDex publishes a single derived number (the index), its historical trend, and the methodology used to compute it. FiveDex is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any distributor or manufacturer named on this site.

2. Data sources and how data is used

FiveDex obtains data only through official, authorized distributor APIs, under each provider's terms of use. Source data (including inventory quantities, availability status, pricing and lead times) is used solely as an input to compute the aggregated FiveDex index.

FiveDex does not publish, redistribute, resell, expose, or otherwise make available any per-distributor inventory quantity, price, lead time, or part-level record obtained from any source. Only the aggregated, derived index — the single value, its trend over time, and the methodology — is made public. No raw source data is served through this website or any public interface.

Each provider retains all rights in its own data. FiveDex claims no ownership of source data and uses it only under the applicable API terms.

3. Methodology and intellectual property

The methodology by which FiveDex computes the index is the subject of a U.S. provisional patent application (No. 64/147,920). Published index values, charts and site content are provided for informational purposes.

4. No warranty; not financial advice

FiveDex is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind. The index is an experimental, informational measure and may contain errors, gaps or delays. Nothing on this site is financial, investment or trading advice, or an offer or solicitation of any kind. Do not rely on the index for any financial decision.

5. Privacy

FiveDex is a static informational site. It does not require accounts and does not collect personal information from visitors. The site may load web fonts from a third-party provider. Any correspondence you send is used only to respond to you.
