What this covers. 1 checked claim so far about projects in Iowa. That is because those are the Iowa claims DataCenterData has checked, not a count of claims or of data centers. Where a state, operator, project or topic shows no checked claim, read it as “not yet checked by DataCenterData”.

What a verdict means. A verdict applies only to the wording shown and the evidence linked on the check date. Where a separate question appears beside a statement checked, the verdict is about that statement, and the question has its own answer. “Unknown” means the reviewed evidence did not establish the point; it never means zero or false.
