What's needed to lift each stub regulatory corpus to production-grade. Per jurisdiction: statutory authorities, tax-stability anchors, indigenous consultation regime, resource-adequacy programs, and the canonical secondary-source citations that should anchor each section.

Status by country

Country	Snapshot	Status	Production-deal-ready?
🇦🇷 Argentina	`AR@2026-05-06.1`	Active	Yes — 5 RED items routed for counsel sign-off
🇧🇷 Brazil	`BR@stub`	Stub	No
🇨🇱 Chile	`CL@stub`	Stub	No
🇵🇾 Paraguay	`PY@stub`	Stub	No
🇺🇾 Uruguay	`UY@stub`	Stub	No
🇺🇸 United States	`US@stub`	Stub	No

Brazil — what to populate

To lift BR@stub to production-grade for the Brazil-as-second-LatAm-port thesis, populate:

Section	What to gather
Authorities	ANEEL (federal electricity regulator), ONS (system operator), ANP (gas + hydrocarbons), CCEE (energy commerce), state-level environmental agencies (IBAMA + state SMA)
Tax stability	REIDI (Lei 11.488/2007 — PIS/COFINS suspension on capital goods), state ICMS regimes for renewables, Manaus / SUDAM / SUDENE incentives
Indigenous consultation	Convenção 169 OIT (Decreto 5.051/2004), Constituição Federal Art. 231, Estatuto do Índio Lei 6.001/1973, FUNAI procedures, recognized indigenous lands per ISA database
Resource adequacy	A-1, A-3, A-5, A-6 capacity auctions; ACR vs. ACL contracting; thermal contracts under Lei 14.300/2022; capacity remuneration under Lei 14.182/2021
Settlement / FX	BCB Resolution 4.373 / 137 for foreign-investor flows, IRRF on remitted dividends, no equivalent of RIGI but Manaus FZ + REIDI provide partial substitutes

Chile — what to populate

Section	What to gather
Authorities	CNE (regulator), Coordinador Eléctrico Nacional (system operator, ex-CDEC), SEC (superintendence), Ministerio del Medio Ambiente (SEIA process)
Tax stability	Ley 20.848 (foreign investment, replaced DL 600), Free Trade Zones (Iquique, Punta Arenas), Ley 21.420 mining royalty reform interaction
Indigenous consultation	Convenio 169 OIT (ratified 2008), Ley Indígena 19.253, Decreto 66 (consulta indígena process under Convenio 169), CONADI registry
Resource adequacy	Capacity payment via Coordinador (potencia de suficiencia), distributed-generation regime (Ley 21.118), green hydrogen strategy implications
Settlement / FX	Banco Central de Chile chapter XIV; relatively-permissive baseline; mining-sector indexation precedents transferable to compute

Paraguay — what to populate

Section	What to gather
Authorities	ANDE (state utility, regulator + operator), ERSSAN (sanitation), Itaipu Binacional (cross-border power)
Tax stability	Ley 70/125 (Maquila regime), Free Trade Zones, agricultural / industrial incentive regimes
Indigenous consultation	Convenio 169 OIT, Estatuto de las Comunidades Indígenas Ley 904/1981, INDI registry
Resource adequacy	Itaipu offtake structure (50/50 PY/BR split, with PY surplus historically sold to BR); ANDE wholesale-supply structure; emerging private-generation regime
Settlement / FX	Banco Central del Paraguay; one of the most-permissive FX regimes in LatAm; PYG floats freely

Uruguay — what to populate

Section	What to gather
Authorities	UTE (state utility, distribution + generation + transmission), URSEA (regulator), MIEM (energy ministry)
Tax stability	Ley 15.921 (Free Zones, including Zona América FZ + Aguada Park FZ — relevant for compute infrastructure)
Indigenous consultation	Generally not applicable (no recognized indigenous communities of comparable scale); environmental impact assessment via DINAMA
Resource adequacy	UTE tariff structure (heavily-regulated retail + private-generator wholesale); high renewable penetration (~95% of grid)
Settlement / FX	Banco Central del Uruguay; permissive baseline; UYU floats; established offshore-financial-center status

United States — what to populate

To lift US@stub to production-grade (relevant for cross-border ChipClass evaluation and US-tenant procurement):

Section	What to gather
Authorities	FERC (federal wholesale + interstate transmission + gas pipelines), NRC (nuclear), EPA (environmental), state PUCs, BLM (federal land), USFWS (endangered species), BIS (export controls), OFAC (sanctions), CFIUS (foreign investment)
Tax stability	IRA PTC/ITC + bonus credits (energy community, domestic content, prevailing wage), Opportunity Zones, MACRS depreciation, state-level renewable property tax exemptions
Indigenous consultation	NAGPRA, NHPA Section 106, tribal consultation under Executive Order 13175, BIA processes
Resource adequacy	ISO/RTO-specific (CAISO RA, ERCOT no formal cap market but ancillary services, PJM capacity auction, NYISO ICAP, MISO PRA, ISONE FCM, SPP non-traditional)
Settlement / FX	Wires + ACH + USDC + standard counterparty risk; minimal jurisdictional friction within US; cross-border requires EAR + OFAC + (potentially) CFIUS clearance

Lifting a stub to production

Populate the snapshot per the checklist above; cite primary sources in statutory_basis.
Confirm with a local counsel firm — for AR we have routed to Bruchou / Marval / Beccar Varela; comparable firm rosters per jurisdiction (Brazil: Mattos Filho / Pinheiro Neto; Chile: Carey / Claro; Paraguay: Vouga / Berkemeyer; Uruguay: Guyer & Regules / Ferrere; US: Latham / Sullivan & Cromwell / Sidley).
Identify the open interpretive questions specific to the jurisdiction; add as CorpusAssumption records with conservative defaults.
Update the per-jurisdiction MDX page with citations + confidence-tagged content.
Issue the snapshot with version <COUNTRY>@<YYYY-MM-DD>.1 and add to the registry.
