Provenance Record

Strong, numerically dense News+Analysis piece (727 words) on Uptime's 2026 outage report. Carefully distinguishes survey-based findings from open questions.

All 3 snapshots read from disk (HTTP 200). source-2 (Network World) confirms — verbatim — the fifth-consecutive-year frequency decline, 'half of operators … down from 74% in 2020', 45% power, 23% networking, 92% human-error (31% major / 31% moderate), and the three direct quotes from Andy Lawrence, Daniel Bizo, and Amber Villegas-Williamson with correct speaker attribution. source-1 (Data Centre Solutions) confirms the 57% / $100,000 figure, the 'Power remains the leading cause' quote, and the fiber/connectivity quote. source-0 (Uptime Intelligence) confirms the 'second year in a row, one in five … more than $1 million' fact (also carried verbatim in DCS).

Every percentage, dollar figure, and year checks out against the cited outlet. The 'second consecutive year / one in five / $1 million' claim cited to Uptime Intelligence is supported there ('second year in a row') and corroborated verbatim in DCS — correctly attributed, no fabrication. BusinessWire was bot-blocked and was correctly excluded rather than cited.

High-quality, fully-verified data-heavy submission with no unsupported specifics. APPROVE.
