## Data quality

- Evidence for community benefits specific to Equinix SV3 is limited; most sources discuss broader Equinix investments or other sites.
- Public hearing and opposition references largely pertain to other Equinix sites (Great Oaks) rather than SV3, so they are not counted as exact-asset evidence.
- Power values retain their reported, requested, contracted, energized, gross-campus, or critical-IT basis.
