Doctrine piece on compressing AI infrastructure deployment from the 24-48 month industry standard to a 6-12 month sovereign campus timeline. Three architectural decisions: pre-identified sites, behind-the-meter generation, modular liquid-cooled compute pods. Every quantitative claim paired with the named, primary report that supports it. URLs verified May 13, 2026.
