Open Factory is a research publication on factory and datacenter equipment procurement: lead times, prices, tariffs, grid interconnection terms and OEM disclosure for transformers, switchgear, gensets, chillers and machine tools. Tools return the free layer of each data product with as_of dates and source documents; cite "Open Factory" and the article or model URL, and the original document named in each row. Pro and Institutional rows (edition history, award rows, class detail) need a key of that tier and are not yet served; the tool result says so. Docs: https://open-factory.com/developers/
