  "scope": "Publicly documented physical factories that either belong to an energy-drink brand owner and have site-level evidence of energy-drink production, or are mixed-model facilities with a directly documented named energy-drink brand or product connection. Contract-only and private-label-only sites are excluded.",
  "methodology": [
    "A record must identify a physical production site, not only a company headquarters, warehouse or distributor.",
    "A brand-owned site is eligible when at least one public source directly connects that physical facility with energy-drink production; a named product or brand is recorded when the source provides one but is not required for this category.",
    "A mixed-model site is eligible only when public evidence connects the physical facility with at least one named energy-drink brand or product made by the operator.",
    "Contract-only, private-label-only, co-packing and generic bottling or filling-service sites are excluded even when they advertise energy-drink capability.",
    "Network-level and company-level links are excluded unless a source identifies the individual production site.",
    "Capacity figures are recorded only with their stated scope and year; they are not treated as energy-drink-only capacity unless the source says so.",
    "Only records with directly inspectable provenance and a usable site-level source are published; unresolved provenance is withheld for review.",
    "The directory is evidence-led and non-exhaustive because no authoritative worldwide register of energy-drink factories exists."
