# Data Center Atlas v0.18 expansion draft

175 physical sites, 178 projects, 43 countries. The frozen v0.17 baseline has 100 sites; this reviewed draft adds 75. The requested expansion target remains 200 total sites (100 additional).

This is an opt-in local draft, not a public release or a claim of goal completion. The public builder still defaults to v0.17. All inherited rows and features are preserved. Locators are not building footprints or surveyed boundaries unless their explicit semantics say otherwise. No additional roles, workloads, capacities, energy, or efficiency observations are inferred.

Lifecycle cutoff: 2026-08-20. Imagery outcomes: 10/178; additional blind reviews: 0. See selection-report.json for every gate and ATTRIBUTION.txt for source terms.
