SOURCE-CHECKED ADDITIONS
Prepared 16 September 2026. New source checks and historical backfill, separate from the supplied research snapshot.
Read interconnection demand as a development pipeline, with exits and dependencies—not as installed capacity or startup revenue.
Keep regulatory classification, clinical evidence and the buyer’s operating case in separate columns.
A practical way to separate capability, failure handling and the cost of operating an AI workflow.
