Silkworm Data
| number | 46 |
| name | Silkworm Data |
| full legal name | Silkworm Data Sovereignty Incorporated |
| common names |
|
| stock designation | SLKD |
| sector | Data Brokerage & Predictive Analytics |
| valuation | Φ2.1 trillion |
| revenue | Φ340 billion annually |
| employees | 41000 |
| sovereign territory | A climate-controlled arcology tower cluster in the former Milwaukee lakefront district, known as the Cocoon — seven interlocked spires wrapped in fiber-optic mesh that glows faintly white at night |
| founding story | Founded in 2141 by former census actuary Priya Vasanthan-Cole after she discovered that the collapse of three municipal governments had left nearly 900 million personal data records legally ownerless. She filed sovereign claim on the data under the GLMZ Corporate Personhood Expansion Act, monetized the archive, and used the proceeds to build the Cocoon within four years. Vasanthan-Cole is still CEO, now 71, referred to internally as the Spinner. |
| security force | The Threadbare — a lean, 3,200-person counterintelligence and data-enforcement unit specializing in information warfare, memory extraction litigation, and the violent recovery of stolen datasets. Threadbare operatives wear matte white bodysuits with no visible insignia and carry nonlethal compliance weapons as standard, lethal as secondary. |
| key detail | Silkworm Data sells predictive behavioral profiles accurate to a 94.7% confidence interval across a 72-hour window. Their most controversial product, the Lifeline Index, assigns every registered GLMZ resident a numeric score representing their economic viability — and at least six corponations use it as a hiring prerequisite. |
| relationship to big 20 | Not a Big 20 member but widely regarded as the 21st power. Every Big 20 corponation purchases Silkworm data subscriptions, making Silkworm simultaneously vendor and silent leverage-holder over nearly all of them. Tessera Corponation has attempted acquisition three times; all three bids were rejected and followed by mysterious data leaks embarrassing to Tessera's board. |
| full text | Silkworm Data Sovereignty Incorporated — stock designation SLKD, colloquially called Silkworm, The Worm, or Silk — operates from the Cocoon, a seven-spire arcology cluster on the Milwaukee lakefront that pulses white through its fiber-optic cladding on every clear night along the GLMZ corridor. Founded in 2141 by Priya Vasanthan-Cole, a former census actuary who had the foresight and audacity to file sovereign corporate claim over 900 million ownerless personal data records left behind by three collapsed municipal governments, Silkworm built itself from a legal maneuver into a Φ2.1 trillion empire in under a decade. Vasanthan-Cole, still at the helm at 71 and still called the Spinner by her staff, has never sold a share of voting stock. Silkworm's 41,000 employees operate across data harvest, predictive modeling, compliance enforcement, and the company's infamous Lifeline Index division — a system that assigns every registered GLMZ resident a numeric economic viability score used by at least six corponations as a mandatory hiring filter. Their flagship predictive behavioral product maintains a 94.7% confidence interval over 72-hour windows, a figure that Silkworm's marketing division has plastered on the interior walls of every transit hub in the corridor. Security is handled by the Threadbare, 3,200 counterintelligence specialists in unmarked white bodysuits who specialize in information warfare, memory extraction litigation, and the forcible recovery of stolen data assets. Though not a formal Big 20 member, Silkworm is universally acknowledged as the corridor's 21st power — every Big 20 entity maintains active data subscriptions, and the Spinner's willingness to weaponize that access has made Silkworm untouchable. Tessera Corponation has tried to acquire them three times. Each attempt ended in a data leak. |
