**What it does not test.** Does not establish that the cloud has gone live, or the scale of committed GPU capacity beyond Dell as hardware supplier.

**How this item counts.** Towards autonomy: it changes who owns, who operates. Binding 2 of 3 (agreed or funded), scale 2 of 3 (medium), Reported counts half: weight +4 of 36 possible. Dutch-owned/operated AI cloud agreed, not yet live; hardware still Dell-sourced. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
