How we publish. In full.

Every claim on this site carries a confidence grade. Every estimate discloses its triangulation. This is how the grading works, what each grade means in practice, and how to read it.

I.The four grades

We assign one of four grades to every load-bearing claim on the site. The grade is per-claim, not per-page; a single article will routinely cite primary, secondary, and estimated material side-by-side.

APrimaryDirect from a public record — LPSC docket, LDEQ filing, parish minutes, SEC filing, court record.
BCitedReported in a publication of record and corroborated by a second independent source.
CEstimateDesk estimate from triangulated public signals. Methodology disclosed inline.
DRumourSingle-source or unconfirmed. Tagged, never load-bearing, present only when the absence would distort context.

II.What primary means in practice

For Louisiana coverage, “primary” resolves to one of seven document classes: LPSC formal filings; LDEQ permitting actions; parish or municipal council minutes; LED memoranda made public via FOIA; SEC filings; federal court records; and direct utility press releases. We name the document class inline; we link the document; we cache the document. For AI data-center power claims, the normalized control surface is the LPSC data center docket tracker.

III.Triangulation

Estimates (Grade C) emerge from at least three independent signals — a primary filing, a corroborating publication of record, and a contextual data point (industry benchmark, peer disclosure, supplier RFP). We disclose each signal inline with the estimate.

IV.Corrections policy

Every revision is logged with a date and one-line description on the About page. Page-level corrections that materially change a load-bearing claim are also footnoted at the bottom of the affected page until the next full edition turnover.

V.What we do not publish

Background quotes from named parishioners. Off-the-record figures that cannot be re-anchored to a public record within 30 days. Speculative forward-looking claims about specific operators that are not derived from a filing.

VI.Independence

LouisianAI is not affiliated with Louisiana Economic Development, the LPSC, any parish council, or any named operator. No advertising. No paid placement. The Register and the briefs are free.
