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.

   Proposed, not undertaken: use public technical material and identify one eligible programme, dataset, software project, or solicitation; any active work requires NASA's official pathway and separate authorization.

   Capability

   Spacecraft and instrument engineering, flight software, communications and navigation, mission operations, scientific data systems, testing, and civil space-mission integration.

   Profile Summary

   NASA Goddard Space Flight Center develops and operates civil science missions, spacecraft, instruments, communications and navigation technology, software, data systems, and mission engineering for Earth and space science.

   Potential Fit

   Goddard experience could inform reliable science instruments, flight software, communications, navigation, data stewardship, mission operations, and system integration. The relevant fit is mission-specific and must not be generalized into whole-vehicle readiness.

   Risks

   1. Access, technology transfer, and collaboration depend on mission, funding, procurement, export, and security rules.
   2. Science-mission heritage generally assumes Earth support and finite mission lifecycles.
   3. Software, cryptography, communications, and data formats require long-term refresh and cyber assurance.

   Evidence Boundary

   The official center site establishes Goddard's science-mission and engineering role; it does not establish availability, endorsement, or validation of a multigenerational autonomous mission.

   Conflicts

   1. GShips could seek public technology, data, funding, or reputational benefit from NASA association.

   What Would Change

   A selected public programme, authorized technical exchange, completed representative demonstration, or reusable open artifact mapped to a GShips requirement would refine 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.

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.
