Source hierarchy

  1. Primary official sources, company filings, regulator publications and operator disclosures are preferred for factual dataset records.
  2. High-quality wire reporting or specialist trade reporting with an explicit attributable source trail may be used where it adds a dated physical-project fact not available in a practical first-party source.
  3. Secondary press, estimates and promotional claims are not promoted into dataset facts unless their status and provenance are clearly labelled.

Data quality controls

  • Observation date and publication date are kept distinct where the underlying fact is time-sensitive.
  • Announced, planned, under-construction and operating states are not collapsed into one status.
  • Parent programme IDs distinguish child-site milestones from wider investment programmes so nested values are not silently double counted.
  • Reported results, management guidance, analyst opinions and policy targets remain separate evidence classes.
  • Missing values remain missing rather than being filled with inferred or modelled estimates.
  • Historical observations preserve earlier stated values and milestones rather than silently replacing them with the newest figure.
  • Material revisions are recorded so later updates do not erase the historical basis of an earlier observation.
