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 program criteria: evaluate a published program only for a stand-alone product with civil-and-defensive boundaries, customer evidence, and a clear reason to use an accelerator. No outreach, application, eligibility determination, commitment, or financing has occurred.

   Capability

   Startup acceleration, aerospace and defense networks, corporate innovation, strategy consulting, venture investment, and market access.

   aerospace and defense accelerator, consultancy, and investor

   Profile Summary

   Starburst operates aerospace and defense startup accelerators, strategy and innovation consulting, venture activity, and corporate and government networks. It is an ecosystem intermediary with commercial and investment interests, not an independent technical reviewer.

   Potential Fit

   Could become relevant to a defined dual-use-bounded venture wedge seeking aerospace customers or accelerator support, provided public-benefit commitments and editorial independence survive the program's incentives.

   Risks

   1. Defense participation and corporate clients create dual-use, export-control, and mission-drift risks.
   2. Accelerator, consulting, and investment roles can create financial and portfolio conflicts.
   3. Cohort terms, access, geography, selection, intellectual-property expectations, and sponsor priorities change.

   Evidence Boundary

   Official-link review: the site was reachable and describes accelerator, consulting, investment, aerospace, and defense activities. Current openings, criteria, terms, outcomes, conflicts, and fit with GShips were not independently verified; independent review pending.

   Conflicts

   The entity has inherent investment, portfolio, consulting-client, and sponsor interests; no specific overlap with GShips was identified or independently investigated.

   What Would Change

   A validated civil or defensive product, transparent current terms, disclosed conflicts, protection for open standards, and a program with measurable value beyond introductions would determine 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.
