The 30 largest of 3,199 facilities classified STRONG (the chain reaches a non-aligned or restricted jurisdiction) or OPAQUE (it stops before any public-filing or government endpoint), ranked by H100-equivalent GPUs, STRONG first. Population: 4,257 public-source facilities have a resolved ownership-chain classification. Facility rows sourced from licensed databases are excluded from this analysis entirely.

The interactive analyzer (requires JavaScript) loads the complete set with severity/jurisdiction filters, search, and per-facility chain detail; the toolbar above exports the full set as CSV or JSON.

How the analyzer classifies each facility

The classification uses recorded ownership chains and the versioned regime map linked below.

1. Chain walk

Start with the linked operator, or the facility owner or hardware owner if no operator is linked. Parent records are ranked by source, confidence and date; unresolved ties stop the walk. After the first organisation, an SEC identifier, government entity or qualifying source ends the walk. Missing parents, cycles and the ten-organisation limit also stop it.

2. Posture lookup

Each organisation’s recorded headquarters country is matched to the regime map in jurisdictional_regimes.json (v2026-04-25, built from the Wassenaar participant list, EU 2021/821, EU Delegated Regulation 2025/2189, national export-control authorities, and CSIS Allen & Goldston, March 2025). Hops whose country does not resolve surface as 'unrecognized'.

3. Severity rule

Classes are applied in order: STRONG for a non-aligned or restricted jurisdiction, then MILD for an allied-partial jurisdiction. Among the remaining chains, OPAQUE marks missing chain information; NONE records no gap detected under the snapshot rules.

4. Unresolved records

A documented non-aligned or restricted jurisdiction takes precedence over an unresolved chain. Facilities with no linked organisation remain identifiable within OPAQUE.

Severity reference

STRONGThe recorded chain includes a jurisdiction classified as non-aligned or restricted in the regime snapshot.

OPAQUEThe chain terminates short of a public-filing or government endpoint.

MILDThe chain reaches at least one allied-partial jurisdiction: a Wassenaar member, or a state applying EU dual-use rules, with no AI-compute-specific instruments of its own.

NONEEvery documented jurisdiction in the operator-to-ultimate-parent chain runs AI-compute export controls aligned with the US-led trilateral framework.

Regime classifications are versioned; snapshots live under data/processed/jurisdictional_regimes_versions/ so a researcher citing a Scrutica snapshot can re-run the classification against the regime data as it stood, after the live file has moved on. Current snapshot: v2026-04-25 JSON snapshot.

The Center for a New American Security publishes a program-level Sovereign AI Index (Chavez, Chilukuri, Scanlon, April 2026), which readers working on jurisdictional control over AI compute will want alongside this page: cnas.org.

Regime coverage, scenarios, and the export-control timeline

Reference material for the analyzer above: which regimes cover which technologies, how the multilateral regimes are structured, named coordination scenarios, and the export-control timeline. The jurisdictions listed are supply-chain participants outside coordination, in no ranked order.
