02 / Research priorities
What must be verified next.
These are deterministic comparability blockers—not editorial scores or automated recommendations.
COMPARABILITY_BLOCKEROPEN
National data-centre capacity
A national operational-capacity figure under one disclosed, repeatable methodology with operational and planned capacity separated.
obs-dc-ke-unavailableCOMPARABILITY_BLOCKEROPEN
Comparable national payments
A regulator or central-bank national series using a common activity definition and period that can be applied across all eight markets.
obs-payments-ke-unavailableCOMPARABILITY_BLOCKEROPEN
National grid reliability
A national SAIDI, SAIFI or equivalent reliability series with method, period and coverage disclosed.
obs-grid-ke-unavailable03 / Decision boundaries
What not to infer.
Use these boundaries when interpreting this profile or combining it with external information.
Counts operational AWS, Azure and Google Cloud regions only. Edge locations, partner deployments and points of presence are excluded.
A Cassava company signal is provider-specific context. It does not establish national AI-compute capacity or commercial operation.
Facility announcements and incompatible commercial estimates cannot be summed into national operational megawatts.
Subscriptions and accounts are not unique people. Contextual regulator counts do not fill the comparable national payments indicator.
Electricity access is not grid reliability. A compatible national reliability series is required.
