Subsidiaries. Subsidiary totals of 20 or more are rounded; subsidiaries recorded only in the licensed database are counted, not named.

Suppliers and customers. Records are grouped by counterparty, and counterparties with more current records come first; disclosures that name no counterparty share one entry. A disclosure more than 5 years old is kept as a record of the past, not evidence of a current relationship, and follows the current records with its fiscal year; a relationship whose recorded end date has passed is marked ended with that date and what it rests on, and follows them too. A product or service, a percentage (the supplier’s share of one product line in the customer’s inputs) and a sole-source mark appear only where the record’s cited source states them for the pair: where a record names no product, its source states none or the description on file has not been tied to the cited source, and records that would read the same are printed once with their count. Where one source’s records about a counterparty cite different documents, each names the site it cites. Alternative suppliers may exist outside this corpus.

Names and pale marks. The companies named at the foot of each side lead the live record’s ledger: most current records first, ties in the ledger’s own order. What each supplies or buys is read from its latest dated record. A public counterparty is drawn pale when every record it has is a disclosure more than 5 years old or has ended.

Known facilities. Each facility record states the relationship its source establishes. A site’s power figure counts as operating capacity, is held from it with the reason beside the figure, or is not shown; of the 5 sites whose record names ByteDance, 2 count as operating capacity and 3 show no power figure. A tilde marks a figure the site’s own record marks as estimated.

Compute arrangements. Filings and announcements recording who owns, runs or contracts compute capacity, where this company is one of the parties. Each is graded by its source’s authority, who disclosed it and whether its figure is an estimate.

Identity. Variant identifiers are resolved to one organisation before its data is combined.
