MIT Technology Review's 15-month investigation had to assemble its own dataset from other groups' records and sheriff reports in 17 Texas counties. Some of those counties charged between $300 and $1,300 to fill a request.

MIT Technology Review found more than 110 deaths inside the advertised range of Anduril's border towers since 2021. Tower footage is generally overwritten after 30 days, so no one can now say which stage of the alert chain failed.
