What this establishes

Physical construction has begun for the specified scope.

What this does not prove

Equipment delivery, completed facility, energization, commissioning, IT installation, cluster operation, customer use, utilization/revenue, or economic capacity.

Four-register control

Figures stay in the register that produced them

No cross-register conversion is performed without an explicit source-stated bridge.

  1. R01Load

    Recorded, basis-bound

    Future multi-GW/company capacity phrases; basis and completed quantity unspecified

    Future company capacity statement, not operating load

  2. R02Supply

    No bridge inferred

    No supply-register quantity is normalized for this record.

    Project state is not treated as proof of deliverable, firm or operating supply.

  3. R03Money

    No bridge inferred

    No separate money-register metric is normalized for this record.

    Capex, contract value, backlog, RPO, revenue and utilization are not converted into capacity or operating state.

  4. R04AI-share

    Source-bounded description

    Directly presented as next-generation AI infrastructure

    Total data-center, campus or portfolio measures remain broader than AI unless the source provides an explicit AI-share boundary.

Aggregation policy: Not summable in this edition. No total, rank or realization percentage is generated.

AI-share boundary

Broader infrastructure does not become AI-only by implication

Directly presented as next-generation AI infrastructure

01

Broader measured scope

Campus, data-center, portfolio, utility, accelerator or financial quantity.

Explicit source bridge

Named AI workload or customer scope · denominator · period · allocation method.

02

AI-attributable subset

Reportable only to the extent directly defined by the source.

Source-bounded AI description

Without the bridge, retain the broader label and stop the attribution.

Control rule: GPU count, company narrative, total campus MW or portfolio capex does not supply an AI-share denominator on its own.

Atomic evidence stack

Claims retain their own ceiling, locator and sources

0 linked claims at the current cutoff.

No atomic claim is linked to this tracker row. Do not strengthen the row from surrounding context.

Record stewardship

What is known, missing and capable of changing the record

Contrary evidenceNo linked test at cutoff

Absence of a linked item is not proof that contrary evidence does not exist.

Negative findingsNo linked negative finding

Continue to treat unknown information as unknown, not zero.

Reopen triggers1 active rule

A qualifying evidence delta requires review and rebuild.

What could change this record

  • OIR-0019 · Any bounded project receives a material cancellation, downsizing, land/permit decision, construction milestone, service agreement, energization, commissioning, phase redefinition, or portfolio-capacity reconciliation.

    Required update: Create dated state observation; preserve prior state; record supersession/overlap; update affected capacity fields without borrowing later-state language.
