Signal notes
buildings recorded as 5 but source says "up to five" (a planned maximum). building_sqft: source states 1,000,000 sq ft built vs 2,300,000 sq ft planned — the built figure is recorded, 2.3M sq ft is the full-build plan. investment_usd is "$1 billion+ invested since 2020" — recorded as the 1,000,000,000 floor. All values come from a single low-confidence secondary aggregator (Baxtel), hence low aggregate confidence.
