Signal 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).
