What qualifies, and what the numbers mean

The Tracker covers corporate investment announcements of roughly $50 million or more, or 100-plus jobs, landing in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia or New Zealand, plus globally significant projects elsewhere. Smaller investments qualify when their strategic or regional importance is explained. Every entry links to its source. Values are as disclosed by the company or government and converted to US dollars where needed; financing facilities, frameworks, and approval pipelines are flagged in the entry because they are not the same thing as committed construction. The FDI label identifies verified foreign ownership, including foreign-owned expansions and acquisitions; it does not measure cross-border capital flows. Domestic projects remain as context. Older entries whose ownership has not been rechecked show investor origin and are excluded from the verified-FDI filter. Announced jobs are not necessarily jobs already created; construction, indirect and retained jobs are omitted from newly researched job fields. Previously announced milestones, uncommitted proposals and divestment context are marked as excluded from totals. Coverage is researched systematically, but is not a complete statistical census. If you spot an error or a deal we missed, tell us.
