## Data quality

- The exact asset is Stream Data Centers DFWA at 1813 Lookout Drive, Garland; Stream identifies DFW VII as the first phase and DFWA1 as the expanded building.
- Stream’s official materials describe the initial DFW VII facility and the later expanded DFWA/DFWA1 building as related phases of the same Garland site. Figures and descriptions therefore should not be merged without identifying the phase.
- A separate NTT facility at 2008 Lookout Drive in Garland was excluded because it is a different operator and address.
- The evidence supports exact-asset or operator-and-location matching for the articles listed below. No tenant is named in the reviewed exact-site sources, so no tenant is reported.
- The reviewed evidence did not establish a formal community group, petition, exact-site public hearing record, opposition proceeding, or litigation involving DFWA/DFW VII.
- Power values retain their reported, requested, contracted, energized, gross-campus, or critical-IT basis.
