Editorial standard
Methodology
LouisianAI tracks Louisiana AI infrastructure as an evidence queue. Projects, claims, incentives, jobs, power demand, water demand, and timelines are separated from rumor until they can be attached to public sources.
Confirmed
Core facts are tied to primary documents, official announcements, or public filings.
Developing
The project or claim is public, but details such as MW, capex, water demand, jobs, or schedule remain incomplete.
Watch queue
The signal is commercially relevant but not publication-grade without additional source verification.
Inclusion criteria
A project enters the public tracker when it has a Louisiana location signal, an AI or hyperscale compute nexus, and at least one public artifact that can be cited. Watch-queue items stay out of the core dataset until they clear that threshold.
Source hierarchy
- 1.Official operator announcements and investor filings
- 2.Louisiana Economic Development and public incentive documents
- 3.LPSC, utility, parish, permit, and public-meeting records
- 4.Archived news reports that cite named public officials or filings
- 5.Unconfirmed market chatter, which is tracked only as a verification lead
Update cadence
Core tracker pages are designed for weekly review. High-volatility items can be updated faster when public filings or operator announcements materially change the record.
Corrections
Corrections should be tied to the canonical project page, source URL, and claim being corrected. Updated facts should preserve the new source trail.
Reuse
Public dataset exports are reusable with attribution to LouisianAI. Link to the specific project, dataset, or source page that supports the claim.
