**What it does not test.** Does not establish that any funding has been committed or any data centre built, since the strategy sets targets and measures without a disclosed budget.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. Cabinet adopted targets/measures but no funding, no capacity actually built yet. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
