Questions and exclusions

Required questions

  1. Required question 1 (exact ID: question-1)
    Does the pathway reward evidence-bearing service, transferable authority, dissent, access, and stop-work competence rather than status?
  2. Required question 2 (exact ID: question-2)
    Are prerequisites, entry routes, first artifacts, and decision boundaries specific without pretending to assess a person?
  3. Required question 3 (exact ID: question-3)
    Does the diagnostic remain transparent, local, non-sensitive, accessible, and incapable of creating a qualification or eligibility judgment?

Explicit exclusions

  • No pathway or diagnostic result qualifies, ranks, appoints, licenses, recruits, or authorizes a person.
  • Lived expertise, formal credentials, operational authority, and technical qualification are not treated as interchangeable.

Requested controlled scopes: accessibility-disability-justice, affected-public-rights, ai-knowledge-assurance, human-factors, institution-building, security-assurance

Frozen-evidence decision window: 90 days from the packet freeze. Not applicable to this packet family.

Complete primary record set

Every record below has one primary packet owner. Decisions must bind to the exact record and packet fingerprints; a changed lesson body, evidence grade, citation, locator, source snapshot, requirement, policy, release, or commit expires the old packet.

    Commitments
    1. Title
      Evidence before spectacle
      Body
      No major claim may be represented as reviewed unless it exposes its basis, readiness target, confidence, assumptions, claim-specific citations and locators, review date, reviewer conflicts, and what would change the conclusion.
    2. Title
      Earth first
      Body
      Every commercial workstream must create credible terrestrial or near-space value before relying on an interstellar market.
    3. Title
      Rights are requirements
      Body
      Reproductive autonomy, disability access, clinical independence, due process, privacy, education, dissent, and constitutional revision are top-level system requirements.
    4. Title
      Build options, not destiny
      Body
      Robotic exploration, Solar System habitats, waiting, and not going remain first-class alternatives at every decision gate.
    5. Title
      Publish failure
      Body
      Negative results, incidents, model limitations, conflicts, and corrected claims are treated as valuable program outputs.
    6. Title
      No purchased truth
      Body
      Sponsors, investors, customers, and indexed organizations cannot buy favorable rankings, evidence labels, or editorial conclusions.
    7. Title
      Civil and defensive boundary
      Body
      The project may support safety, resilience, logistics, communications, and cyber defense. It excludes target identification or engagement, weapons command-and-control, offensive access or destructive payloads, mass surveillance or biometric repression, autonomous force, and coercive reproductive, medical, genetic, or civic control. Before any relevant work begins, GShips must establish customer and end-use screening, contract restrictions, export and sanctions review, recusals, independent stop-work authority, escalation, termination, incident response, and appeal; the founder may not waive the boundary alone.
    8. Title
      Institution over founder
      Body
      Leadership succession, independent review, stop-work authority, and transparent governance matter more than founder charisma.
    Founder Interest Disclosure
    Founder interest: the maintainer intends to explore formation of a commercial venture based on some of this work. No entity, outside funding, sponsors, customers, or partner relationships currently exist.
    External Action Boundary
    Every outreach, event, submission, registration, sponsorship, incorporation, hiring, contract, and partner-facing roadmap item is proposed and not undertaken; each requires separate owner authorization and any applicable acceptance, budget, legal, travel, safety, or export-control review.

    Name
    Autonomous Habitat Assurance
    Promise
    Make closed, remote, safety-critical habitats easier to understand, test, maintain, and recover—especially when experts, resupply, or communications are unavailable.
    Components
    1. A versioned requirements and evidence graph connecting hazards, functions, components, interfaces, tests, suppliers, and claims.
    2. A scenario registry that exposes assumptions and records cross-domain fault cases before physical testing.
    3. Maintenance, spares, cannibalization, feedstock, and repair-depth planning.
    Assurance Boundary
    1. Classify assets and data, define trust zones, and document every import and export path before handling operational information.
    2. Define signing authority, key custody, revocation, expiry, anti-rollback, source authorization, and tenant separation; integrity is not the same as approval.
    3. Declare each model’s use, configuration, validity envelope, uncertainty, and independent verification oracle.
    4. Model spares uncertainty, correlated failures, configuration state, cannibalization dependencies, and censored reliability data.
    5. Version zero has no actuation adapter and cannot issue a command to an operational system.

    5. Schedule ten listening conversations and ask which useful coordination problem is currently neglected.
    6. Create a conflicts register, evidence policy, dual-use boundary, and correction process.
    Days90
    1. Complete twenty-five listening interviews across science, operations, public interest, and potential customers.
    2. Recruit six to ten compensated advisors with published scopes and conflicts.

Linked records—not review targets here

These records provide dependency or relationship context. Their decisions belong to their single primary packet, preventing double counting.

Offline packet and worksheet

Downloads contain no reviewer contact details. Downloading does not create an account or store a review response in the GShips application. Ordinary provider request or analytics logs may record the download request. Work locally: the public site has no review account, upload endpoint, or decision-submission API.

Readable notes companion only—not a decision-bundle equivalent. Use the closed JSON template for structural validation.

Download notes worksheet

Do not paste a completed decision, identity documents, private contact data, confidential conflict evidence, medical information, controlled material, or exploit details into a public form. Until a separately authorized private handoff exists, retain the completed worksheet locally.

Packet schema · JSON · Decision-bundle schema · JSON

Validate offline

Use Node.js 22.13.0 or later. Keep the packet, worksheet, completed decision, and all six kit files together in a local directory.

  1. Download the six kit files below. Complete a copy of the JSON template offline and preserve its templateFingerprint.
  2. Finalize a separate output file.
    node finalize-review-decision.mjs \
      --input DRAFT.json \
      --output COMPLETED.json

    This marks the copy complete and calculates an unkeyed canonical bundle fingerprint. A fingerprint detects changes; it is not a reviewer signature.

  3. Validate the packet and completed copy.
    node check-review-decisions.mjs \
      --packet PACKET.json \
      --decision COMPLETED.json

    Add another --decision for each independent reviewer.

  4. Interpret the result narrowly. A zero exit proves structural consistency only. Neither command appoints or qualifies a reviewer, establishes independence, accepts a decision, or authorizes publication.

Completion criteria

Every primary record must receive the required number of valid, current-fingerprint approvals; every complementary scope group and required domain must be covered; any unresolved revise, contest, or reject disposition blocks publication.

Named medical, reproductive, nuclear, radiation, cybersecurity, governance, and dual-use conclusions require two distinct qualified independent humans covering complementary domain-method and rights/public-interest scopes.

  • Reviewer identity, qualification, independence, conflicts, and compensation must be assessed by accountable human governance; local validation can only report structural validity.
  • Approve, revise, contest, reject, and recuse remain visible. A negative finding cannot be hidden by an aggregate approval percentage.
  • Revision creates a new record and packet fingerprint. Prior approvals do not carry forward automatically.
  • AI may assist with clerical comparison but cannot count as an independent reviewer, identity attestor, appeal authority, or second person.

Assumptions and limits

  • The exact packet, record, source, policy, release, and source-commit fingerprints bound this prepared page; human review has not started.
  • Downloading, local structural validation, or completing notes does not appoint or qualify a reviewer, establish independence, accept a decision, authorize publication, or create a relationship.

What would change this page?

Staffed governance, appointed qualified reviewers, completed record-level decisions, published conflicts, minority findings, corrections, or changed review policy would change this page.
