Signature model · C17–C20

The evidence boundary becomes less observable after operation

The gradient represents public-record visibility, not the existence or absence of private activity.

  1. C17Threshold observation

    Operating infrastructure

    A bounded operating statement or equivalent observation.

    Boundary: Does not establish customer use, utilization or project economics.

  2. C18Commercial bridge

    Contracted use

    A scoped arrangement linking operating capacity to customer use.

    Boundary: Contract scope, customer identity or capacity denominator may remain private.

  3. C19Measured downstream use

    Utilization or revenue

    A comparable measure with denominator, period and project scope.

    Boundary: Portfolio or company-wide metrics may not isolate the named project.

  4. C20Durable operating-economic bridge

    Sustained economic capacity

    Evidence connecting sustained operation, use and economic output.

    Boundary: Public project-level evidence is often absent or non-comparable.

Unknown is not zero. Missing public C18–C20 evidence is recorded as a scoped gap, not as proof of full utilization, failure or stranded capacity.

Reopen rule: advance only when a new source supplies the missing scoped contract, denominator, period, utilization observation or operating-economic bridge.

C17Compute cluster operatingExisting operating campus

What this establishes

The specified compute cluster is operating under the evidenced source and scope.

What this does not prove

Measured operating MW, customer use, utilization, revenue, profitability, sustained economic capacity, or operation of every phase.

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

    Not normalized

    UNKNOWN — PUBLIC EVIDENCE NOT LOCATED is retained as a non-normalized or non-load figure; no MW conversion is performed.

    No load quantity is imputed from money, supply, accelerator count or project state.

  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

    Meta data-center infrastructure; AI-specific workload share not public in inspected source

    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

Meta data-center infrastructure; AI-specific workload share not public in inspected source

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.

A qualifying evidence delta requires review and rebuild.

What could change this record

  • OIR-0020 · Public evidence provides measured operating load, commissioned IT capacity, customer-use, utilization, revenue/economic incidence, or independent verification for a C17 project.

    Required update: Verify unit, period, site boundary and source function; upgrade only the supported state; preserve contrary evidence and C18–C20 distinctions.
