RECORDED AS A NEGATIVE RESULT, NOT AS A PUE SOURCE. The 2024, 2025 and 2026 executive-summary landing pages all return HTTP 200 and confirm the survey exists and is in its 14th year, but every page is a ~11.7 KB landing page with no PUE number in the HTML. The actual figures are in a 13-14 page executive summary excerpted from a 31-page report available only to Uptime Network / Uptime Intelligence members. Google quotes an 'industry average' of 1.56 against its own 1.09, and Uptime is the usual origin of that figure, so Uptime likely does publish an industry average PUE - but it could not be read from a public page here, so NO UPTIME PUE NUMBER IS RECORDED ANYWHERE IN THIS REPO. Anyone wanting it needs a membership copy. 2026-10-10: set vendor_silence=paywall. The record's own basis/notes already establish the reason; the field only names the case the schema now distinguishes. No number changed. 2026-10-11: Re-read uptimeinstitute.com survey landing page; confirms paywall mechanism (landing page public HTML contains no PUE numbers; full report and executive summary are gated behind membership).
