notes: 'Operator is Apple, which has no data/operators.yml entry — operator field omitted;
  needs an operators.yml entry before it can be attributed. Locality and county left blank:
  the source hint gives two equally-valid localities (Reno/Sparks) and two counties (Washoe/Storey)
  with no basis to choose one, so the id and location fall back to state (NV) per place precedence.
  building_sqft not populated as a total — the only figure is a "~400,000 sq ft third phase"
  increment, not a campus total (KB-0002: precision not invented). Status "operational" is
  inferred from the expansion language rather than an explicit status signal.'
