METHODOLOGY / RULESET 0.1

Conviction needs
a visible basis.

The current data-center screening model makes category weights, confidence logic, thresholds, and hard stops inspectable.

INVESTMENT READINESS

Six dimensions.
A weighted assessment.

Power & connectivity

Capacity, utility commitment, and energization certainty.

25%

Site & permitting

Land control, entitlements, and environmental readiness.

15%

Technical & design

Efficiency, redundancy, and design readiness.

15%

Commercial & tenants

Contracted demand and tenant commitments.

20%

Financial & capital

Underwritten yield and funding certainty.

15%

Delivery & execution

Construction commitments and delivery stage.

10%

Readiness is a weighted 0–100 score computed from structured intake. Unknown categorical statuses map to zero. These provisional rules have not been calibrated as an institutional rating.

EVIDENCE CONFIDENCE

Asset quality and source coverage
answer different questions.

A strong input is still an assumption until its evidence is examined.

For each category, a reviewed source counts when both a claim and source reference are recorded. Confidence uses source-coverage bands, then applies the same category weights.

  • No qualifying reviewed sources: 20%.
  • One qualifying reviewed source: 70%.
  • Two or more qualifying reviewed sources: 95%.
  • Contradictory evidence: 20% for that category.

Confidence is a source-coverage indicator, not a statistical probability or assurance that a document is authentic.

SCREENING OUTPUT

Four outcomes.
Explicit conditions.

V1

Proceed to IC

Readiness ≥80 and confidence ≥75%, with no hard stop.

V2

Proceed with conditions

Readiness ≥60 when V1 is not met, with no hard stop.

V3

Further diligence required

Readiness ≥40 and <60, with no hard stop.

V4

Hold / do not proceed

Readiness <40, or any hard stop.

HARD STOPS

Some gaps cannot be averaged away.

01

Blocked permitting

A blocked site-permitting status forces a V4 screening outcome.

02

No secured power

Indicative power status with zero secured capacity forces V4.

03

Contradictory evidence

Analyst-marked contradictions reduce the affected category’s readiness score by 25 points and force V4.

REVIEW AND RELIANCE

A screening basis.
A human decision.

Verdict prepares the case for review. Analysts and committees remain responsible for evaluating it.

Review status is assigned by an analyst. The current product does not automatically extract claims, independently verify documents, or issue a signed institutional rating.

The memorandum reflects the current workspace. It requires analyst validation and committee approval. Broader rating methods and institutional governance remain planned.
