Across the corpus, 9 measured objects carry figures that do not reconcile. We print 19 published values from 15 publishers, exactly as each published them, and reconcile none of them.
A disagreement on this page is not a defect in our reading — it is the state of the public record. Where sources conflict, choosing one silently would be the error; so both stand, dated and attributed, and the judgement is left to you.
What is counted: The public money attached to the Crolles project, at two different stages of the same decision.
€7.4 billion
Agence Europe
Aid envelope cleared by the Commission, April 2023.
Citation 7
€2.9 billion
Reuters
Aid contracted by the French state, June 2023.
Citation 8
Why it stays open: An authorised ceiling and a signed contract are different objects; reading the smaller number as a cut, or the larger as money paid, would both be wrong.
The values count different objects or periods, so no range, sum or growth rate is derived across them.
No value is averaged.
Two publishers, two values
Crolles joint fab, project size
What is counted: The headline size published for the ST–GlobalFoundries 300 mm project.
US$5.7 billion

Memorandum of understanding, 11 July 2022.
Citation 2
€7.5 billion
eeNews Europe
Finalised agreement, 5 June 2023.
Citation 3
Why it stays open: Neither figure is a conversion of the other at the rates of its date, and no publisher reconciles the two.
Both values are printed. Neither publisher reconciles with the other, and we do not convert, split or average them.
What is counted: Headcounts published for one counterparty, with no company disclosure in the record we opened.

Revelio Labs

Citation 31
Why it stays open: The values count different populations over overlapping periods, so the spread with its provenance is the finding, and no single headcount is published.
The values count different objects or periods, so no range, sum or growth rate is derived across them.
What is counted: Core highly technical posts counted by the sector body in two successive editions.
163,000
Société française d’énergie nucléaire (Revue Générale Nucléaire)
End-2024 count, stated 28 October 2025.

125,000
Société française d’énergie nucléaire (Revue Générale Nucléaire)
First edition, early 2023.
Citation 12
Why it stays open: The perimeter changed between editions — the later count includes activity accessible in the United Kingdom — so no growth rate is derived across them.
The earlier figure is kept beside the later one. A revision is a fact about the measurement, not a correction we may quietly absorb.
What is counted: Revenue as the company published it, for a full year and for a single quarter.
€592m
Soitec
FY2026, full year.
Citation 2
€113m
Soitec
Q1 FY2027, one quarter.
Citation 3
Why it stays open: A quarter is not a year and nothing here is annualised: multiplying the quarter would manufacture a forecast the company has not given.
The values count different objects or periods, so no range, sum or growth rate is derived across them.
No value is averaged.
How this register is kept
Every value is printed as its publisher printed it. We do not round, convert currencies or restate units to make two figures look closer than they are.
Nothing here is averaged. A mid-point between two sourced figures is a number nobody published, and we do not publish numbers nobody published.
Each value names the citation index of the dossier that carries it, so you can open the source we read and check it yourself.
A disagreement leaves this register only when the published record itself resolves it. It is never quietly retired to make the page shorter.
