## Data quality

- OpenStreetMap way (osm:794147654) supplies an exact-asset anchor (name/operator/address) that matches the supplied resolved_identity and was used to locate the site.
- Public sources reviewed (CloudHQ site, Baxtel data sheet, data-center directories) describe a multi-building 'LC Campus' at or near 21955 Loudoun County Pkwy; none of the reviewed pages provided a signed community benefits agreement specific to the single asset 'CloudHQ LC1'.
- Local government permit records and permit‑listing pages show building/permit activity tied to 21955 Loudoun County Pkwy but do not publish a community benefits package in the cited excerpts.
- Power values retain their reported, requested, contracted, energized, gross-campus, or critical-IT basis.
