## Data quality

- The exact asset is the operating retrofit data-center building at 2020 Live Oak Street in downtown Dallas, not other Live Oak Street properties or newer North Texas data-center projects.
- The strongest exact-site coverage is from February-April 2017, when the facility opened and Global IP Networks became a major tenant; no later exact-site community-news coverage was identified in the reviewed corpus.
- Several search results mentioning Live Oak concerned different addresses, unrelated companies, parking facilities, Red Oak, or Live Oak County and were excluded.
- Facility capacity, power, cooling, water, PUE/WUE, equipment, tenants beyond the specifically reported Global IP Networks tenancy, and commercial terms are not expanded beyond the supplied evidence.
- Power values retain their reported, requested, contracted, energized, gross-campus, or critical-IT basis.
