The poster shows: The number 1.4% alone, in heavy dark type on a pale paper ground, under a small line of type: Check the Number.
Check the Number · The empty-buildings check
1.4%
The contract matters more than the forecast.
1.4% of data center space sat empty at the end of 2025, a record low. The film checks the bubble story against that number, and says what the number cannot promise.

This film is type on paper, read by an AI voice. Nothing in it is imagined: each number it shows is real.
It is shown as it was made, in the voice we used then, and it closes on a line we no longer use. Its end card names “the Build It Right Campaign”. Build It Right is an independent initiative, organizing as a nonprofit. Paid for so far by its founder, a private individual. No company, trade group or investor has given money.
