When compute infrastructure creates durable domestic advantage — and when a country mainly exports power, water and tax concessions.
Article placeholder →A plain-language accountability tracker for the physical infrastructure behind AI. See what a project is, what governments and developers say it will deliver, what power, water and public support it may require, and which important questions are still unanswered.

We no longer score projects by how many fields happen to be public. Each card tells you the project's maturity, its scale, the public-value question, and the specific questions citizens should be able to put to governments and developers.
