FICTIONAL PLANNING ARTIFACT. "Apogee Launch Co." is an invented company. Nothing here builds, tests, or flies a rocket. "To space" means a suborbital flight crossing the Kármán line (100 km); orbital flight is out of scope. All figures are planned targets, not measured results.

Certification Report — rocket-24-month-plan

The certification state is assigned by the Forge Proof Layer
(tools/forge-proof.mjs), not by hand. This report explains the posture; the
authoritative record is proof/PROOF_DECISION.json.

What is verified vs. what is not

This outcome is a planning artifact. The verification suite establishes, with evidence, that the plan is internally consistent, complete, and deterministic:

  • all 730 days are generated and uniquely indexed;
  • the 10 phases tile Day 1–730 with no gaps or overlaps;
  • the budget allocation sums to exactly $200M and the spend curve stays under the

cap with reserve;

  • all milestones are valid and inside their phases;
  • the crew is exactly 5 and every lead is real;
  • generation is deterministic and the website embeds the full plan.

What is not established: that any rocket exists, that the mission is physically built, or that 24 months is achievable in reality. Those are disclosed seams in proof/LIMITATIONS.md.

Why this is not PRODUCTION_VALIDATED

PRODUCTION_VALIDATED requires live production evidence, an official benchmark, independent reproduction, and external validation. None apply to a fictional program plan, so that state is deliberately not claimed. There is no official benchmark for "a correct plan," so the Evidence Grade reflects internal verification rather than benchmarked performance.

Reproduction

Every check is reproducible from proof/REPRODUCE.md. Re-running verify.mjs regenerates the same report, and the plan model is byte-identical across runs.
