Evidence fragments
Orbital and spectral observations have different coverage, provenance, and inference limits.
IF / Auditable prospecting autonomy
IF helps space teams rank resource-prospecting targets and defend the mission decisions behind them with source-backed uncertainty, safety-gated orchestration, and replayable evidence.
First focus: PGM-likelihood screening for near-Earth asteroid candidates. IF reports evidence and uncertainty; it does not claim mineral reserves.
01 / Problem
Target and architecture decisions combine orbital observations, spectra, vehicle limits, timing, communications, resources, and human approval. Each input carries a source, unit, frame, epoch, quality, and uncertainty. When the chain lives across spreadsheets and specialist tools, a changed assumption can make the final ranking difficult to reproduce or defend.
Orbital and spectral observations have different coverage, provenance, and inference limits.
Accessibility, composition likelihood, timing, and risk change with mission policy and assumptions.
A result without rejected alternatives, exceptions, and replay is weak evidence for an engineering review.
02 / Method
IF treats provenance, uncertainty, mission state, candidate action, and safety approval as separate facts. A learned recommendation cannot bypass the hard-safety boundary, and a higher-fidelity adapter cannot claim capability it does not declare.

03 / Evidence
The public IF Entity Orchestrator is a tested research demonstrator. Its evidence supports software architecture and orchestration behavior. It does not establish a target's composition, physical mission performance, or readiness for flight.
04 / Engagement
JMP0X1B is validating fixed, mission-specific work with space robotics, spacecraft, payload, science, and program teams. Each engagement names its evidence, scoring policy, exclusions, uncertainty, acceptance review, and data rights before analysis begins.
Compare a bounded candidate population and identify which targets warrant deeper analysis.
Ranked evidence / sensitivity / reviewConnect target evidence to a defined architecture, entity graph, resource constraints, and failure cases.
Scenario / exceptions / reproducible reportValidate a bounded IF workflow against partner hardware and named acceptance evidence when the interfaces are ready.
Adapter / test plan / qualification evidence05 / Status
IF has no flight heritage, customer mission deployment, production training dataset, qualified orbital or physical simulator, hardware-in-the-loop result, payload integration, or proven asteroid reserve. The public simulator qualifies orchestration behavior only. Every future capability must pass its own scientific, numerical, safety, security, and mission acceptance gate.
06 / Contact
A useful first conversation covers the decision, timing, current evidence, acceptance review, and the reason an external study might fail.
