 "verdict": "Konza is what a good idea looks like on drip-fed money: eighteen years in, a live data centre, a young university, no published residents. Dholera outscores it, 3.10 against 1.75, mainly because its activation money arrived approved as a block and its anchor pays its own bills. The gap is cashflow design, not vision. Dated 25 August 2026.",
