Gaps the research left open

4Shown as gaps, never filled in by guesswork. Supplement 1 (the second pass) closed some; they are listed below.

AI Growth Zone: the Evidence Hub says the region is designated, but a GOV.UK search for "AI Growth Zone" (30 newest of 113 results) surfaced only Lanarkshire by name; the North East designation announcement was not opened. Blyth and Cobalt Park data centre details not verified on a primary page.
Chief Executive and any Chief Digital/Data Officer not named on pages opened. Mayoral Data Council membership by authority not published.
No AI activity found for Durham, Gateshead, North Tyneside, Northumberland, South Tyneside or Sunderland within the allowance.
Homepage news items carry no dates.
