Site-scoring playbook
Score candidate sites the way hyperscaler siting teams do: power availability and speed-to-MW, interconnect and permitting, power price, land, water and climate, incentives.
Site-scoring playbook
Kill gates come first: power or interconnect at ≤2, or water or land/zoning at ≤1, disqualifies a site no matter how the weighted score averages out. Weights reflect the reordered 2026 hierarchy — power availability now leads, ahead of latency and land. Tune to your workload (training tolerates latency; inference doesn't) → Ch 3.13.
