**What it does not test.** Does not establish who the buyer is, whether DARE has found a replacement designer, or whether the chiplet architecture itself is delayed.

**How this item counts.** Towards dependence: it changes who made the parts. Binding 3 of 3 (in force or operating), scale 2 of 3 (medium), Reported counts half: weight -3 of 36 possible. Czech RISC-V design unit sold to US buyer, threatens EUR240M EU chip design capability. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
