Critical claim table
What this packet supports—and what it does not.
| Claim | Current value | Evidence state | Source path | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Project and operator | Delta Forge 1 · Applied Digital | reported | No attached source record | No source record is attached to this packet; treat the tracker row as a watch item, not independently verified diligence. |
| Parish and utility | Rapides Parish · Cleco | reported | No attached source record | Utility territory is context, not proof of an executed service agreement or energization date. |
| Current tracker status | Under construction · Delta Forge 1 | reported | No attached source record | Status is a source-labelled tracking assessment. Open regulatory records are not approvals. |
| Tracked capital investment | $3.6B | reported | No attached source record | Investment is a tracked public figure, not a completed-spend assertion. |
| Tracked power capacity | 430 MW | reported | No attached source record | Capacity, contracted load, utility design, critical IT load, and in-service power are distinct concepts. |
