Factual accuracy — The claims are factually correct, as the added evidence from SpaceNews supports the assertions made in both claims regarding helium-3's market viability and the emergence of space resource rights through national legislation.
Intra-PR duplicates — There are no intra-PR duplicates; the new evidence is distinct and adds unique information to each claim.
Confidence calibration — The confidence levels for the claims remain appropriate, as the new evidence further strengthens the existing assertions without overstating their certainty.
Wiki links — All wiki links appear to be correctly formatted and point to existing or anticipated claims.

Review of PR: Enrichment from SpaceNews lunar economy source

1. Schema

Both modified files are claims with valid frontmatter (type, domain, confidence, source, created, description present in existing files), and the enrichments follow the correct "Additional Evidence" format with source links and dates.

2. Duplicate/redundancy

The first enrichment (helium-3 boundary condition) adds new analytical depth about why the paradox doesn't apply to helium-3 beyond what's already stated, while the second enrichment (India adoption) provides genuinely new factual evidence (India's adoption) not present in the existing claim text.

3. Confidence

First claim maintains "high" confidence appropriately given the economic logic is sound and supported by helium-3 scarcity evidence; second claim maintains "high" confidence appropriately as India's adoption strengthens the pattern of national legislation creating de facto norms.

4. Wiki links

The wiki link [[2026-03-18-spacenews-lunar-economy-resources-reactors]] appears in both enrichments and likely points to the source file in inbox/archive/, which should resolve correctly; no broken links detected in the enrichment text itself.

5. Source quality

SpaceNews is a credible industry publication appropriate for reporting both technical economic analysis (helium-3 markets) and policy developments (India's legislative adoption of resource rights principles).

6. Specificity

Both claims remain falsifiable: someone could argue launch costs don't create this paradox for ISRU, or that national legislation isn't creating de facto international law; the enrichments maintain this specificity by adding concrete examples (helium-3 boundary condition, India's specific adoption).
