Hyperscale data centers are coming to Ohio. As the AI industry continues its growth, the buildout of physical infrastructure has become a hotly debated topic. 

We want to know how data centers will impact Ohio’s economy going forward. Your assignment is to make a quantitative estimate of the number of data centers in Ohio by 2036, as measured by the number of facilities operating. 

There is no right or wrong answer to this assignment, though there are better or worse answers. You will not be rated on how close you come to a number we have predetermined but rather on the quality of your analysis. Please present your findings in a memo of no more than 300 words, written for a policymaker, clearly explaining your methods and results.

Submit your response by email to michael@sciotoanalysis.com. Assignments are due Thursday, October 15th, at 4:59pm Eastern Standard Time. After reviewing the assignments, we will select finalists to participate in an online interview.
