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: if a safety-critical software boundary is defined, consider a paid, civil and defensive assurance study with deliverables, proof assumptions, and data rights specified. No outreach, eligibility determination, commitment, or procurement has occurred.
    Capability
    Formal specification and verification, high-assurance software, cryptography, digital engineering, cyber-physical assurance, and AI-system analysis.

    private research and development company

    Relationship

    Engagement Status
    proposed; not undertaken
    Profile Summary
    Galois develops high-assurance software, formal methods, cryptography, model-based systems engineering, cybersecurity, and assurance approaches for government and commercial critical systems.
    Potential Fit
    Could support a bounded safety case, requirements-to-code traceability, verified cryptographic component, or assurance architecture for Autonomous Habitat Assurance.
    Risks
    1. Much of the company’s work originates in defense and national-security programs; offensive or weapons integration is excluded.
    2. Formal proofs cover stated models and properties, not omitted requirements, hardware faults, operators, or the full environment.
    3. Specialist services may be costly, proprietary, and constrained by controlled information.
    Evidence Boundary
    Official-link review: the official site and formal-methods pages were reachable and describe critical-systems, defense, cloud, cryptography, and MBSE work. 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 scoped civil problem, auditable proof artifacts, independent reproduction, and acceptable open or escrowed deliverables 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.

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.

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.
