# Data-Center / AI Infrastructure Governance Profile
2+
3+
**Status**: APPLIED PROFILE DRAFT
4+
**Scope**: evidence surfaces for AI infrastructure and data-center public-benefit claims
5+
**Implementation status**: NOT_IMPLEMENTED
6+
**Core mutation**: NONE
7+
8+
## Purpose
9+
10+
AI infrastructure is not only compute. It can affect energy systems, water systems, land use, heat flows, grid flexibility, public benefit, and local accountability.
11+
12+
This profile uses Riverbraid's claim-versus-evidence pattern to make those claims inspectable.
13+
14+
## Core question
15+
16+
```text
17+
What public-benefit claims are being made, and what evidence supports each claim?
18+
```
19+
20+
Riverbraid does not decide the politics of infrastructure. It can help prevent public-value claims from hiding inside fragmented paperwork.
21+
22+
## Evidence surfaces
23+
24+
| Surface | Question | Example evidence |
25+
|---|---|---|
26+
| Energy use | How much power is consumed and when? | metered load data, utility reports, interconnection records |
27+
| Water use | What water source is used and how much? | potable/reclaimed/closed-loop data, permits, water reports |
28+
| Heat reuse | Is waste heat reused? | thermal delivery records, heat reuse contracts, metered MWh thermal |
29+
| Grid flexibility | Can the site reduce load or support the grid? | demand response records, battery dispatch logs, response time evidence |
30+
| Compute commons | Is public or research compute offered? | allocated hours, user groups, access policy, usage logs |
31+
| Public benefit | What benefit is claimed and who receives it? | public ledger, community agreements, benefit reports |
32+
| Agency responsibility | Who is responsible for each claim? | agency map, owner map, escalation route |
33+
| Transparency | What is visible to public reviewers? | dashboard, audit packet, public reports |
34+
35+
## Suggested metrics
36+
37+
- PUE / WUE / CUE where relevant
38+
- MWh consumed
39+
- MWh thermal reused
40+
- percentage of water from non-potable or closed-loop sources
41+
- MW of flexible load
42+
- response time for grid events
43+
- battery capacity available for public/grid support
44+
- public compute hours allocated
45+
- local ratepayer cost impact
46+
- unresolved community burden reports
47+
48+
## Claim record format
49+
50+
```yaml
51+
claim_id:
52+
claim_text:
53+
claim_owner:
54+
evidence_required:
55+
evidence_available:
56+
verification_status:
57+
known_limitations:
58+
non_claims:
59+
responsible_agency:
60+
review_cadence:
61+
```
62+
63+
## Failure behavior
64+
65+
If a public-benefit claim lacks evidence, the claim should move to:
66+
67+
```text
68+
CLAIM_UNSUPPORTED_PENDING_EVIDENCE
69+
```
70+
71+
If a metric is promised but not measurable, the profile should mark:
72+
73+
```text
74+
MEASUREMENT_SURFACE_ABSENT
75+
```
76+
77+
## Non-scope
78+
79+
This profile does not:
80+
81+
- approve or reject a data center
82+
- claim environmental compliance
83+
- replace local permitting
84+
- replace utility review
85+
- certify public benefit
86+
- guarantee community consent
87+
- prove climate benefit
88+
89+
## Boundary
90+
91+
This is an applied profile draft. It does not create a live dashboard, legal status, infrastructure approval, or external audit claim.
