Factual accuracy — The claims regarding Interlune's AFWERX contract, the amount, and the purpose of terrestrial helium-3 extraction are factually correct as presented in the source.
Intra-PR duplicates — There are no intra-PR duplicates; the two additions to the claim file are distinct in their purpose (one extends, one challenges) despite using the same source.
Confidence calibration — This PR does not contain claims, only additions to an existing claim, so confidence calibration is not applicable.
Wiki links — The wiki link [[2026-03-18-interlune-afwerx-terrestrial-he3-extraction]] is correctly linked to the new source file.

Review of PR: Interlune Terrestrial He-3 Extraction Enrichment

1. Schema

The claim file has valid frontmatter with all required fields (type, domain, confidence, source, created, description), and the source file in inbox/queue/ follows the source schema with appropriate metadata including the new processing fields.

2. Duplicate/redundancy

The two enrichments inject genuinely distinct evidence: the first (extend) documents the terrestrial extraction capability as a supply alternative, while the second (challenge) analyzes the supply-side substitution risk to lunar economics—these are complementary perspectives on the same source, not redundant claims.

3. Confidence

The parent claim maintains "high" confidence, which remains justified because the enrichments add nuance to a specific boundary condition (He-3) without undermining the core paradox about launch costs affecting both infrastructure deployment and resource competition.

4. Wiki links

The wiki link [[2026-03-18-interlune-afwerx-terrestrial-he3-extraction]] correctly points to the source file being processed in this PR, so no broken links exist.

5. Source quality

The AFWERX contract award is a credible primary source for documenting Interlune's terrestrial He-3 extraction program, with specific technical details (cryogenic distillation, concentration ratios) that support the factual claims made.

6. Specificity

Both enrichments make falsifiable claims: someone could disagree about whether 0.0001% He-3 concentration makes terrestrial extraction economically viable at scale, or whether this represents a genuine threat to lunar resource economics versus a complementary supply source.

Additional observations: The "challenge" enrichment appropriately questions the parent claim's boundary condition about He-3 scarcity, showing good epistemic hygiene by documenting evidence that complicates rather than simply confirms the existing thesis.
