As an outsider, what is the best way to measure or identify the bubble?

Is a "VC firm filing for bankruptcy" the only indicator?

Can someone more knowledgeable share some thoughts on this?

A drop in ping pong table sales is a leading indicator[0].

That only indicates startups being more prudent and reducing their burn rate.

Right. Which they only do when..?

...they realise they aren't getting value for money, which can happen at any time, not just during a bubble.

Ping-pong tables.

In enough numbers to make the graph deflect.
