notes: >
  Single good source (RE-NJ), self-consistent — medium confidence.
  investment_usd recorded as 1800000000; source phrases it "nearly $1.8
  billion" (approximate, not exact). capacity_mw 250 has no stated basis
  (IT load vs utility) so capacity_mw_basis is omitted. operational_date
  omitted: source says "operational early 2027", which cannot be
  normalized to a valid full date without inventing precision — held in
  notes per KB-0002. Company "CoreWeave" appears as developer/operator
  but has no operators.yml entry — both operator and developer fields
  omitted; CoreWeave needs an operators.yml entry (type ai/developer).
