Source function
An official source can establish only the function it actually performs: authority, action, objective, implementation, site permission, grid pathway, rate mechanism, equipment state, behavior or outcome.
Evidence and editorial standards
Public statements are narrower than the strongest available wording.
AI Compute Evidence Ledger publishes the smallest defensible statement that survives source-function, state, unit, rights and contrary-evidence checks.
Atomic claims
Material statements carry a CLM-#### identifier, supporting SRC-#### records, exact locators, confidence, a claim ceiling and a reopen trigger.
State and unit integrity
C0–C21 states remain exact. Quantities retain raw value, basis, geography, vintage and caveat. Incompatible figures are never summed.
Contrary evidence
CTR-#### records test rival explanations and narrow the public claim where appropriate. They are not optional balance copy.
Negative findings
NEG-#### records preserve searches that did not locate public evidence. Unknown is displayed as unknown rather than estimated.
Event-triggered updates
OIR-#### records specify which filing, order, disclosure or observed outcome could change the page and what must be rechecked.
Rights and public safety
The site paraphrases and links. It does not republish protected documents, restricted records, operational vulnerabilities or source material beyond lawful use.
Corrections and supersession
New evidence creates a recorded delta. Superseded statements remain traceable; the controlling source and affected pages are identified before rebuild.

CLM-0025 · interpretation
Available national and regional public records use incompatible vintages, geographic boundaries, and state definitions; quantitative consolidation requires raw-value preservation and explicit normalization.

TWh/year, equivalent average GW, source-defined facility capacity, system peak GW, requested load, design capacity, MW-IT, GPU count, and announced capex are non-interchangeable metrics and are held in separate comparable groups.
