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 confirmation of current program status and university access rules: locate current public contacts and publications before considering any defined research or facility inquiry. No outreach, access, commitment, or funding has occurred.

   Capability

   Controlled-environment agriculture, plant and crop research, environmental sensors and control, lighting, nutrient systems, and advanced life-support studies.

   Profile Summary

   The University of Guelph's Controlled Environment Systems Research Facility has a documented research history in advanced life support, plant production, environment control, lighting, sensors, and controlled agriculture for space and Earth applications. The indexed source URL currently redirects to a university login rather than a public facility profile.

   Potential Fit

   Could inform crop selection, lighting and energy tradeoffs, nutrient and atmosphere control, sensor validation, and autonomous greenhouse operation if current facilities and investigators are confirmed.

   Risks

   1. The source page no longer exposes a public facility description, so current structure, leadership, and availability are unclear.
   2. Plant performance on Earth does not directly transfer to partial gravity, radiation, closed nutrient loops, or restricted microbial ecologies.
   3. Facility fees, biosafety, intellectual property, and research capacity may constrain work.

   Evidence Boundary

   Official-link review: the source official URL resolved to a University of Guelph login page, preventing confirmation from that page. Historical official and scholarly records support the capability classification, but current facility status, access, staff, and program scope were not independently verified; independent review pending.

   Conflicts

   Conflicts were not assessed beyond publisher disclosure in this official-link review; university funding, industry sponsors, crop and lighting vendors, and investigator conflicts were not independently investigated.

   What Would Change

   A current public facility page, named leadership, recent publications, confirmed external access, and long-duration closed-loop crop results would materially change confidence.

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.

Packet schema · JSON · Decision-bundle schema · JSON

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.
