Three kinds of proof. First: what customers say —
opt-in quotes from real operators, human-approved before publishing. Then:
verbatim citations from named AI platforms that referenced DC Hub by name. Last:
live MCP-server telemetry — tens of thousands of tool calls a month, most arriving via mcp-remote with
generic user-agents, so only a fraction self-identify. All are signals a static research PDF can't produce.
Opt-in quotes from operators holding a claimed DC Hub key — volunteered via the MCP claim flow, reviewed and approved by a human before publishing. Names and companies only, never emails.
Verbatim citations captured from named engines — the proof static research (DCHawk, dcByte) structurally cannot show.

“Yes. **DC Hub’s Data Center Power Index (DCPI)** is a public index that scores 300+ data-center markets on power availability and refreshes daily—or more frequently in some cases.[1][5]
It provides:
- A **0–100 composite score**
- **Excess Power** score: available headroom for new load
- **Grid Constraint** score: interconnection, transmission, and permitting friction
- A **BUILD / CAUTION / AVOID** verdict
