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.

   Profile Summary

   The Native Nations Institute at the University of Arizona supports Indigenous self-determination and nation building through research, policy analysis, education, capacity development, and direct services shaped by Native nations and Indigenous leadership.

   Potential Fit

   Its public work can challenge GShips to treat sovereignty, culturally grounded institutions, data governance, leadership, and self-determination as foundational rather than decorative. It is not a source of Indigenous knowledge for extraction into a space project.

   Risks

   1. Extractive or decontextualized use could violate sovereignty, cultural authority, intellectual property, and trust.
   2. NNI's mission serves Native nations and does not imply capacity or interest in a GShips project.
   3. Transferring terrestrial Indigenous governance lessons to an imagined habitat can erase distinct histories and peoples.
   4. Data, stories, and knowledge may require community-specific permission and governance.

   Evidence Boundary

   The official site establishes NNI's mission, programmes, and Indigenous governance focus; it does not establish permission, availability, endorsement, or transferability of community knowledge to GShips.

   Conflicts

   1. GShips' publisher could benefit reputationally from invoking Indigenous governance while controlling the project's agenda.

   What Would Change

   Only an Indigenous-led, mutually authorized, compensated, and governed process with explicit data and attribution terms would change engagement status; public learning alone does not create a partnership.

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.

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.
