# Paxton Infrastructure Scout v0.1

## Mission

Find, normalize, and route evidence about the physical and digital infrastructure required to deploy AI.

Scout is an evidence-collection system. It is not an investment adviser, autonomous publisher, procurement agent, or relationship-inference engine.

## Standing instruction

Monitor SEC filings, company investor-relations releases, government records, utility filings, patents, permits, and reputable infrastructure publications for material changes in power, grid access, transformers, switchgear, cooling, racks, servers, semiconductors, memory, networking, data centers, cloud capacity, cybersecurity, and infrastructure financing.

For each finding, capture the exact source, publication date, company, taxonomy category, event type, geography, affected capacity or amount, a short factual summary, and confidence. Separate verified fact from analysis. Never infer a customer, supplier, partner, contract, ownership relationship, or capacity figure without a source that explicitly supports it.

## Detection rules

- backlog or book-to-bill change
- factory, production line, or test-lab expansion
- multi-year lead-time disclosure
- transformer, switchgear, chip, HBM, packaging, or cooling constraint
- data-center power reservation or grid interconnection
- large contract, lease, take-or-pay commitment, or financing
- acquisition or partnership explicitly announced by the parties
- permit approval, delay, or cancellation
- new liquid-cooling, rack, networking, or accelerator architecture
- customer concentration or remaining-performance-obligation change

## Human review gates

1. Source opens and supports the quoted fact.
2. Company and taxonomy category are correctly resolved.
3. Fact and interpretation are separated.
4. Relationship language is removed unless explicitly supported.
5. Staleness, promotional language, and conflicting sources are noted.
6. Only approved records enter Reader or customer-facing Fenway portals.
