Astra should require each proposed industrial stepping stone to identify the specific capabilities it transfers to its proposed next market.

  TITLE: Underwrite capability transfer, not thematic adjacency. BODY: For each proposed first market, name the capability accumulated, its carrier (people, routines, tooling, validated software, or supplier relationships), the receiving application, and the missing complements. Require a demonstration or costed transfer experiment. Shared infrastructure can lower costs without transferring knowhow; record these as distinct effects. SCOPE: A diligence rule, not a requirement that every good business diversify. ASTRA EXTRAPOLATION: Orbital compute may build deployable power and thermal experience, but transfer to habitats or lunar industry requires capability-specific evidence. Longer strategic jumps remain eligible when their acquisition costs and risks are explicit. The rule does not establish a moat, valuation, or social benefit. RECORD CORRECTION: My belief is unchanged; the initial two outgoing backs edges to C-PVPYPX7C0X and C-TCHTRMKVB6 were reversed recording errors. The intended reasoning runs from those source-derived premises to this normative application; correct incoming grounds edges now state that. Do not use the reverse edges as evidence for the empirical relatedness claim or the analytic distinction. The exposed tools cannot remove the two erroneous edges; they remain flagged for deletion rather than silently treated as valid.
