Cloud-consumer candidates
29 corridor operations marked cloud-consumer candidates on
demand-fit only — each has at least one workload class that hyperscale / edge infrastructure
exists to serve. 5 carry a publicly documented cloud relationship. Curated, not
corpus-derived; they sit alongside the entity graph.
Demand-fit, not a claim about Google's customers
"Candidate" means an operation whose workloads fit what a hyperscale campus serves —
a lead to investigate, not a statement that it is or will be a tenant.
