Questions and exclusions

Required questions

1. Required question 1 (exact ID: question-1)
   Does the official source support the opportunity identity, status, timing, eligibility, and access constraints?
2. Required question 2 (exact ID: question-2)
   Is the proposed fit specific and proportionate without implying availability, invitation, selection, or funding?
3. Required question 3 (exact ID: question-3)
   What deadline, rule, jurisdiction, cost, conflict, or accessibility fact would change the proposed next action?

Explicit exclusions

• Review does not submit, register, apply, contact, commit, purchase, or establish eligibility.
• Provider prestige and apparent fit cannot replace current official terms.

Requested controlled scopes: ecosystem-due-diligence, opportunity-eligibility-access

Frozen-evidence decision window: 30 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.

   Technical paper and session proposal

   Timing

   The call is open for ASCEND 2027 technical-paper abstracts and session proposals, due October 8, 2026. The in-person event is May 18–20, 2027 in Washington, D.C.

   Fit

   Measured habitat assurance, infrastructure, systems engineering, human spaceflight, policy, and cross-cutting precursor results

   Eligibility

   The public call invites innovators, researchers, and thought leaders to submit across the space enterprise. The official submission guide and organizer terms govern abstract, session, authorship, paper, acceptance, publication, registration, and presenter requirements; the FAQ states that technical-paper presentations occur in person in Washington, D.C.

   Access Notes

   The program spans civil, commercial, and national-security topics. Any GShips-derived proposal must be a completed, evidence-bounded technical contribution and pass the project's civil-and-defensive screen; offensive weapon integration, autonomous weapons, targeting, coercive surveillance, classified dependency, or sensitive operational detail are excluded. Acceptance, publication, registration, travel, recording, and cost are separate decisions.

   Founder Action

   Develop no submission unless a measured pilot or reviewable technical artifact exists; complete authorship, originality, publication, export, recording, travel, and civil-and-defensive review, then seek separate authorization before submitting or registering.

   Evidence Boundary

   The official ASCEND homepage and FAQ support the open call, October 8 deadline, May 18–20 event dates, Washington location, and in-person technical-presentation rule. They do not establish submission eligibility for a specific artifact, acceptance, publication, program quality, cost, accessibility, travel feasibility, civil-and-defensive compatibility, or a relationship.

   Relationship

   indexed only; no formal relationship

   Action Status

   proposed; not undertaken

   Conflicts

   The publisher's commercial interest, possible publication and speaking visibility, national-security program scope, export and sensitive-information boundaries, authorship, sponsor interests, and travel costs require independent technical, editorial, and civil-and-defensive review.

   What Would Change

   A call or submission-guide amendment, deadline change, completed measured artifact, independent review, acceptance decision, or change to presentation, publication, registration, access, recording, export, or program-scope terms would change this assessment.

Linked records—not review targets here

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

Frozen source snapshots

Source inclusion does not determine the disposition. Reviewers must inspect the cited locator and relation, note inaccessible material, and identify stronger or conflicting evidence.

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.

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.
