- Why it was chosen
- The midterm results and local ballot measures show data centre expansion running into voter-level resistance, a signal of how the build-out environment for AI infrastructure is changing.
A model scores each item twice, independently, against one written standard, out of 100. An item is admitted only when the two scores add up to twice the threshold. The threshold is set per source tier.
