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.

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.

   Engagement

   Proposed only, subject to a future fit check and then-current access rules: consider a scoped research question, student project, or seminar through normal university channels after identifying relevant faculty and funding. No outreach, eligibility determination, commitment, or procurement has occurred.

   Capability

   ISRU science and engineering, excavation and processing, resource economics and policy, research, and graduate education.

   Entity Kind

   Engagement Status

   proposed; not undertaken

   Profile Summary

   The Colorado School of Mines Space Resources Program and Center study in-situ resource utilization through science, engineering, economics, policy, excavation, processing, and graduate education.

   Potential Fit

   Could inform resource-system requirements, terrestrial mining analogs, economics, policy, and student research for Solar System precursor habitats; it would not validate interstellar resource assumptions.

   Risks

   1. ISRU performance is destination- and feedstock-specific and may not transfer to a closed ship.
   2. Academic projects vary in readiness, validation depth, and schedule.
   3. Mining and resource use raise environmental, Indigenous-rights, governance, and dual-use concerns.

   Evidence Boundary

   Official-link review: the official university page was reachable and identifies the program’s long-running ISRU focus, education, and research role. 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 named investigator, relevant experimental facility, peer-reviewed results, and an ethics-aware scope would strengthen fit.

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.
