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 NASA and university mechanisms: examine published artifacts, then consider a bounded seminar, dataset request, or test collaboration around a named assurance requirement. No outreach, access, commitment, or funding has occurred.

   Capability

   Autonomous habitat management, structural and system health monitoring, robotics, self-maintenance, digital engineering, resilient operations, and multidisciplinary testbeds.

   Profile Summary

   Habitats Optimized for Missions of Exploration is a NASA Space Technology Research Institute led by UC Davis. Its published vision combines autonomous and self-aware habitat systems, adaptive maintenance, robotics, digital representations, decision support, and resilient operations when crew and ground help are limited.

   Potential Fit

   Could directly inform Autonomous Habitat Assurance requirements, maintenance planning, sensing, robot-human coordination, and integrated testbeds, while its exploration horizon remains much shorter than a generation ship.

   Risks

   1. Exploration-habitat demonstrations do not validate century-scale autonomy, ecology, or governance.
   2. Machine learning and automation can fail under distribution shift, sensor loss, corrupted data, or unsafe human override.
   3. Institute phase, facility access, intellectual property, export controls, and researcher capacity may limit engagement.

   Evidence Boundary

   Official-link review: the NASA profile was reachable and describes HOME's objectives, participants, and adaptive autonomous habitat focus. Current test maturity, datasets, access, failure history, and generation-ship applicability were not independently verified; independent review pending.

   Conflicts

   Conflicts were not assessed beyond publisher disclosure in this official-link review; NASA priorities, university and industry participants, patents, and researcher conflicts were not independently investigated.

   What Would Change

   Published failure-injection results, independent replication, offline and degraded-mode tests, open interfaces, current external access, and evidence of safe human override would strengthen fit.

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.
