|---|---|
| Scope | SemiAnalysis's bottom-up model for a 50 MW US liquid-cooled AI hall. The same model gives about 30% against today's partly prefabricated baseline. These are two separate comparisons, not a range, and the model's conventional baseline already includes some prefabrication. |
| Caveat | Analyst model, not a measured sample of projects. Vendor schedule claims use other baselines and milestones and are not comparable. |
