**What it does not test.** This does not establish Swiss ownership of the system or any disclosed offset payment figure, only that IBM will host and run a US owned machine on Swiss soil.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. IBM (US-owned) operates under non-EU control; hosting on Swiss soil alone moves no answer. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
