Questions and exclusions

Required questions

1. Required question 1 (exact ID: question-1)
   Does the official source establish the entity, current program, and bounded capability described?
2. Required question 2 (exact ID: question-2)
   Are potential fit, risks, access, geography, and engagement boundaries current and proportionate?
3. Required question 3 (exact ID: question-3)
   Could any wording imply partnership, endorsement, availability, procurement, authority, or affiliation that does not exist?

Explicit exclusions

• Indexing is not endorsement, due diligence completion, outreach, procurement, or a relationship.
• No aggregate organization score or sponsor-purchased ranking is permitted.

Requested controlled scopes: ecosystem-due-diligence, information-science

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

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.

   Engagement

   Proposed only, subject to a future fit check and then-current access rules: consider submitting a bounded Earth-first systems paper to an appropriate AIAA venue or seeking committee-session participation after verifying current procedures. No outreach, eligibility determination, commitment, or procurement has occurred.

   Capability

   Space-settlement concepts, enabling-system synthesis, technical exchange, and professional convening.

   Profile Summary

   The AIAA Space Settlement Technical Committee is a current expert committee whose published scope is to advance concepts, science, and technology enabling permanent human presence in space.

   Potential Fit

   Could expose GShips assumptions to specialists in settlement systems, permanence, governance interfaces, and enabling technologies, but is not a source of automatic technical validation.

   Risks

   1. The committee’s broad settlement remit does not demonstrate expertise in every generation-ship subsystem.
   2. Participation and paper acceptance are controlled by AIAA processes and cannot be assumed.
   3. Settlement advocacy can bias toward expansion; GShips’ wait and do-not-launch decision gates must remain explicit.

   Evidence Boundary

   Official-link review: the official AIAA technical-committee page was reachable and lists the committee and scope; public committee details beyond that profile are limited. Public descriptions, performance, maturity, access, procurement, and current availability were not independently verified; independent review pending.

   Conflicts

   Conflicts were not assessed beyond publisher disclosure in this official-link review; financial, contracting, leadership, and institutional conflicts were not independently investigated.

   What Would Change

   A current work plan, named technical outputs, membership route, and demonstrated attention to ethics and failure governance would change the assessment.

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.

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.
