Question 01
What state is this number in, and what register is it in?
Requested, approved, contracted, built, energized, operating, measured or paid—and whether the quantity is power, energy, dollars, projects or equipment.

From Press Release to Power
How to Read the AI Data Center Boom—Without Mistaking Announcements, Contracts, and Construction for Operating Reality
Built is not running. Contracted is not flowing. From Press Release to Power follows the AI data-center public record from announcement through land, grid, contract, construction, switching-on and running—so readers can distinguish plans, commitments and build activity from operating reality.
BUILT ≠ RUNNING
The core distinction
Plans, contracts, construction and operation are different states of reality.
The book follows the public record from announcement through land, grid, contract, construction, switching-on and running. It asks readers not to collapse those states into one headline number.
Requested→Approved→Contracted→Built→Energized→Operating
The field method
Two questions keep the number attached to the record that produced it.
The book reduces its reading discipline to state, register, scope and vintage—then asks the reader to preserve those controls as the number travels.
Question 02
What scope does it cover, and what date was it true?
Keep the site, cohort, portfolio, grid region or industry boundary attached, along with the date or reporting vintage that makes the statement true.
Custody
Keep the controlling words with the number.
Terms such as planned, seeking, approved, up to and preliminary are not packaging. They control what the figure can be made to mean.
