## Data quality

- The exact asset is identified consistently as Stream DFW IV at 3300 Essex Drive, Richardson, Texas, and is distinct from nearby Richardson data centers and the broader Digital Dallas campus.
- The strongest exact-site sources are Stream Data Centers’ official location page, the Dallas Morning News construction report, Mapletree’s exact-property page, and an SEC-filed purchase-and-sale agreement.
- A secondary data-center directory references City Council approval but does not provide a meeting date, agenda number, hearing transcript, or approval details; it should not be treated as a complete public-hearing record.
- No MW, water-use, PUE, WUE, equipment, generator, or other operational figures are included because the available sources were not used to establish those fields for this request.
- Power values retain their reported, requested, contracted, energized, gross-campus, or critical-IT basis.
