Research notes & open questions
No datacenter city or independent rack/operator verification. Exact toolchain and API not established. Uploaded research questions whether existing quantity claims are static marketing. Stock claims need review. Verified gap resolution (2026-09-24): Dedicated checklist progressed; 4 criteria graded in the gap-resolution wave. Prior status conflict superseded by open-questions follow-up. Open-questions follow-up (2026-09-24): Newly graded: dedicated.support_channels→partial (Site identifies operator-run email and Discord support; staffed hours are not published.); dedicated.status→partial (The /status URL serves a status page rather than redirecting to homepage in the indexed result, but says rack monitoring). Still open: dedicated.incident_response: What are incident severity definitions, response targets, and emergency escalation?
