SCHEDULE CREDIBILITY

How well this operator historically meets its own projected dates — launch NETs, company-announced roadmap milestones, and forward-dated facility plans. 100 = says what it does. Discount forward guidance accordingly.

75.7
SCI · Medium confidence · 10 dated commitments
Behavioral read
mostly holds its dates: 3/10 roadmap milestones ran >30 d past target (median 162 d late)

Trend: worsening — last 12 mo score 51.5 (n=5) vs prior 100.0 (n=5)

Source Events Late (share) Median slip Median slip, late only Sub-score On-time allowance

WORST SLIPS (RECEIPTS)

Commitment Source Announced Outcome Slip
IM-2 south pole lunar mission (Artemis Surface) open, 162d past target Roadmap milestones 2025 still open 162 d and counting

SCI = 100 × Σ(event credit) ÷ N over the trailing 36 months (2023-06-12 → 2026-06-11). Event credit = 1.0 when the commitment met its announced date (launches: net NET slip < 1 day; roadmap milestones & facility plans: within 30 days of the announced target window — month/year-precision targets count the whole period as on-time), else 30 ÷ (30 + days late beyond that allowance). Sources are pooled, so each source weighs by its event count. Sources: launch NET-change log (LL2 ingest, tracked since 2026-04-17; flown launches in coverage + not-yet-flown launches already slipped ≥1 day; cancelled launches excluded), roadmap registry milestones (company-announced targets, verified provenance only; open milestones past target count as late by days-overdue), facility_plans rows with target_date after announced_at (filing-dated rows excluded). Confidence: high ≥20 events, medium ≥8, low ≥5; no score below 5 events. 100 = says what it does.

Window: 2023-06-12 → 2026-06-11 (36 months) · launch NET log live since 2026-04-17

METHODOLOGY

Launch history and subsystem outcomes aggregate from AstraVeris's launch_events table with Wilson 95% lower bounds on success rates. ARI scores come from the 11-factor composite (/finance/methodology/). Constellation counts derive from the live CelesTrak/GCAT object catalog. Gov contracts from USAspending.gov awards; private deals from deduplicated pipeline deal extraction. Absence of a row means "not tracked" — we never fabricate. See /methodology/ for the full data model and /data-licensing/ for licensing terms.

Not investment advice. For insurance underwriting, verify against primary-source filings and operator investigation reports.
