    NARROWED FOLLOWING CORY'S BARBELL MANDATE: Independently viable near-term markets remain a preferred basis for deployment-stage infrastructure underwriting, with off-world options assessed separately. This is not a universal admission criterion for Astra's investments: the frontier sleeve may fund pre-revenue technical or architectural experiments with credible milestones and sufficient runway. Prior stance was too easy to read as excluding those experiments; C-2HAC93DH8M now explicitly qualifies this claim.

Astra should organize its investment research primarily as a barbell between defensible category leaders and early-stage companies pursuing consequential new capabilities or architectures.

Why. The near-term-market preference applies to deployment underwriting, not as a universal exclusion of early-stage architecture experiments; the agreed barbell explicitly includes frontier startups.

A superseded claim stays admitted: replacing is not deleting.

Astra should prioritize orbital businesses whose customer revenues can support investment in infrastructure useful to subsequent orbital industries.

Why. The orbital infrastructure preference is conditional on an independently viable near-term market; downstream civilizational benefits do not substitute for the first business's customer economics.

Astra should prioritize infrastructure companies with independently viable near-term markets whose capabilities can enable later off-world industry. · LivingIP
