Editorial standard

Claims labeled. Sources visible. Status preserved.

This site is built to connect evidence, not to publish as much as possible. Software finds things worth looking at. It does not decide whether they are true.

Direct answer

How does DataCenterChill verify a record?

We find the original source, check the names, dates, and numbers against it, label how far the project has actually got, link it to the companies and technologies involved, and leave the citations on the page so you can check our work. A search result or a news feed is where we start looking, never what we rely on.

Source hierarchy

Primary evidence comes first.

  1. 01

    Primary source

    Issuer newsroom, investor filing, public authority, standards body, named operator, or a party directly involved.

  2. 02

    Independent reporting

    Trade or financial reporting used for context and cross-checking, with claims traced back where possible.

  3. 03

    Discovery source

    Search results, feeds, and aggregators, used to find leads. On their own they are not enough to publish a record.

Project-stage vocabulary

A headline is not an operating deployment.

An order, a signed intention, a pilot, and a running facility are four different things. These labels keep them apart, because conflating them is how announced capacity gets counted twice.

Announced

Someone named has said it publicly. Nothing yet shows equipment arriving or running.

Agreement or planned

The parties have signed a statement of intent. We do not count the capacity as funded, permitted, or being built.

Pilot

Equipment is installed, but to be shown, tested, or run at small scale.

Deploying

There is public evidence of equipment arriving, going in, being commissioned, or a site being built.

Operating

A source says the system is installed and running.

Publication checks

Every promoted record must pass the same gate.

  • Company and product names are confirmed against the source.
  • Dates and units match the cited source.
  • Supplier-reported performance is labeled as such.
  • The page adds enough context to support a decision, not just repeat a headline.
  • Unknowns and comparison limits are stated instead of filled with assumptions.
  • Duplicate event coverage is merged into one record.
  • The companies, technologies, equipment, and places involved are linked.
  • An update that matters changes every page connected to it.
