Assumed gate-first site comparison — stated inputs
8.0 MW IT / 10 MW meter by week 60; ≤$80/MWh; ≥100 Gb/s survivor payload; ≤12 ms RTT; 250 m³/day water. Weights: 30/20/15/15/10/10%; A all 9; B all 8; C 7/8/7/7/8/7.modeled

| Scope | Decide which of three hypothetical parcels should enter conditional commercial negotiation. Assume the same required phase: 8.0 MW IT within a 10 MW facility-meter envelope by week 60; delivered electricity no more than $80/MWh; 100 Gb/s usable survivor payload within a measured 12 ms RTT budget; lawful water service of 250 m³/day for the selected rejection design; and acceptable title, foundation/flood layout and operative permits by their dependent release dates. Treat those as mandatory gates. Assume A has a verified water-service refusal and all other gates pass; B passes every gate except route diversity, for which only two carrier map lines exist; C has sufficient evidence for every gate. These evidence states are fictional inputs, not obtained letters, surveys or measured tests. For eligible candidates only, assume 0–10 scores in power, energy, connectivity, land/permits, climate/water, ecosystem, weighted 30%, 20%, 15%, 15%, 10%, 10%. A scores 9/9/9/9/9/9, B 8/8/8/8/8/8 and C 7/8/7/7/8/7. Thresholds model the service, bill and cooling gates in Chapters 3.2, 3.3, 3.6 and 3.7; weights are preferences, not measured failure probabilities. The IT/meter pair is a fixed phase envelope with positive facility overhead, carried from the Chapter 1.7 design basis. Need week, bill cap, survivor bandwidth, RTT and water quantity are explicit owner acceptance preferences for this case, not regional performance or cooling forecasts; Chapters 3.2/3.3/3.6/3.7 describe the evidence required to accept them. Scores are an exact ordinal preference exercise on [0,10], and weights are selected nonnegative preferences summing to one. A’s water refusal, B’s unknown route and C’s passes are fictional input states. No survey, carrier measurement or utility letter was obtained. |
