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 current university and NASA program rules: review publications, then consider a scoped student or sponsored test around a defined structure or inspection problem. No outreach, eligibility determination, commitment, or funding has occurred.

   Capability

   Inflatable and deployable habitat structures, adaptive systems, materials, robotics, structural monitoring, prototyping, and aerospace education.

   Profile Summary

   The University of Houston's IDEAS2 Center is a NASA Minority University Research and Education Project institutional research center focused on inflatable and deployable environments, adaptive space systems, structures, materials, robotics, sensing, and student research.

   Potential Fit

   Could inform packaging, deployment, adaptive structures, pressure habitats, inspection, and repair for lunar or orbital testbeds while developing a diverse student and researcher pipeline.

   Risks

   1. Deployable prototypes do not establish pressure integrity, micrometeoroid protection, repairability, or decades of fatigue life.
   2. Funding phase, student turnover, laboratory access, and investigator capacity can change.
   3. NASA and aerospace work may involve export controls, proprietary partners, and restricted technical data.

   Evidence Boundary

   Official-link review: the center site was reachable and identifies NASA MIRO support and deployable-environment research. Current award phase, recent outputs, facility access, qualification evidence, and fit with any GShips project were not independently verified; independent review pending.

   Conflicts

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

   What Would Change

   Current publications, cyclic pressure and damage tests, validated inspection and repair, confirmed program continuity, and an open research mechanism 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.

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.
