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 Biosphere 2 protocols: consider a preregistered short analog around a specific operational question with independent ethics and safety review. No outreach, mission booking, commitment, or funding has occurred.

   Capability

   Sealed habitat analog missions, crew operations, greenhouse integration, environmental monitoring, isolation studies, training, and public education.

   Profile Summary

   The Space Analog for the Moon and Mars at Biosphere 2 is a sealed analog habitat combining crew quarters, controlled environment, and greenhouse functions for research and training. It is designed for Earthside analog missions, not physical replication of lunar, Martian, or interstellar environments.

   Potential Fit

   Could support small-crew operations, maintenance, food production, isolation, workflow, human factors, instrumentation, and incident exercises for precursor habitat concepts.

   Risks

   1. Earth gravity, atmosphere, resupply, rescue, small crews, and short missions sharply limit transfer.
   2. Analog participation raises medical, privacy, labor, research-ethics, and informed-consent obligations.
   3. Greenhouse and environmental systems may receive expert intervention unavailable in remote habitats.

   Evidence Boundary

   Official-link review: the Biosphere 2 SAM page was reachable and describes the habitat, greenhouse, and analog purpose. Current mission availability, protocols, research outputs, closure level, facility interventions, and external access were not independently verified; independent review pending.

   Conflicts

   Conflicts were not assessed beyond publisher disclosure in this official-link review; university, facility, sponsor, participant, tourism, and research interests were not independently investigated.

   What Would Change

   Published protocols and results, transparent intervention logs, diverse and adequately supported participants, independent ethics review, and repeated harder analogs 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.

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.
