    "note": "This seed inventory deliberately includes operating and pre-operational colocation and enterprise facilities, not only new hyperscale projects. Operator-listed means currently marketed by the operator; it is not an independent onsite operating audit. Lifecycle status is preserved so preleasing facilities are not counted as operating. Additional operators, private enterprise facilities, government sites, telecom rooms, retired sites and unresolved acquisition histories remain to be researched."

A separate DataCenterData ledger now contains 43 named municipal data-center/data-building project leads, but opening dates and identities have not been reconciled to the city's operating denominator."}
