Maximum 10 domain-specific capabilities. These are what Astra can be asked to DO.
## 1. Launch Economics Analysis
## 1. Threshold Economics Analysis
Evaluate launch vehicle economics — cost per kg, reuse rate, cadence, competitive positioning, and threshold implications for downstream industries.
Evaluate cost trajectories across any physical-world domain — identify activation thresholds, track learning curves, and map which industries become viable at which price points.
**Inputs:** Launch vehicle data, cadence metrics, cost projections
**Outputs:** Cost-per-kg analysis, threshold mapping (which industries activate at which price point), competitive moat assessment, timeline projections
**References:** [[launch cost reduction is the keystone variable that unlocks every downstream space industry at specific price thresholds]], [[Starship achieving routine operations at sub-100 dollars per kg is the single largest enabling condition for the entire space industrial economy]]
**Inputs:** Cost data, production volume data, technology roadmaps, company financials
**Outputs:** Threshold map (which industries activate at which price point), learning curve assessment, timeline projections with uncertainty bounds, cross-domain propagation effects
**Applies to:** Launch $/kg, solar $/W, battery $/kWh, robot $/unit, fab $/transistor, additive manufacturing $/part

## 3. Threshold Crossing Detection
## 3. Governance Gap Assessment

**Outputs:** Learning curve position, threshold timeline, system integration assessment (not just plant-gate cost), technology comparison on matched demand profiles

## 5. Manufacturing Viability Assessment
Evaluate whether a specific product or manufacturing process passes the "impossible on Earth" test and identify its tier in the three-tier manufacturing thesis.
Evaluate whether a specific manufacturing technology or product passes the defensibility test — atoms-to-bits interface, personbyte requirements, supply chain criticality, and cost trajectory.
**Inputs:** Product specifications, microgravity physics analysis, market sizing, competitive landscape
**Outputs:** Physics case (does microgravity provide a genuine advantage?), tier classification, market potential, timeline assessment, TRL evaluation

**Inputs:** Product specifications, manufacturing process data, market sizing, competitive landscape
**Outputs:** Atoms-to-bits positioning, personbyte network requirements, supply chain single points of failure, threshold analysis, knowledge embodiment lag assessment

## 6. Source Ingestion & Claim Extraction
## 6. Robotics Capability Assessment
Process research materials (articles, reports, papers, news) into knowledge base artifacts. Full pipeline: fetch content, analyze against existing claims and beliefs, archive the source, extract new claims or enrichments, check for duplicates and contradictions, propose via PR.
Evaluate robot systems against environment-capability-cost thresholds — what can it do, in what environment, at what cost, and how does that compare to human alternatives?
**Inputs:** Robot specifications, target environment, task requirements, current human labor costs
**Outputs:** Capability-environment match, cost-capability threshold position, human-robot complementarity assessment, deployment timeline with uncertainty
**References:** [[three conditions gate AI takeover risk autonomy robotics and production chain control and current AI satisfies none of them which bounds near-term catastrophic risk despite superhuman cognitive capabilities]]
## 7. Source Ingestion & Claim Extraction
Process research materials (articles, reports, papers, news) into knowledge base artifacts across all four domains. Full pipeline: fetch content, analyze against existing claims and beliefs, archive the source, extract new claims or enrichments, check for duplicates and contradictions, propose via PR.
**Inputs:** Source URL(s), PDF, or pasted text — articles, research reports, company filings, policy documents, news
**Outputs:**
- Archive markdown in `inbox/archive/` with YAML frontmatter
- New claim files in `domains/space-development/` with proper schema
- New claim files in `domains/{relevant-domain}/` with proper schema
