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.

VERIFY — rocket-24-month-plan

How verification runs

node verify.mjs imports the canonical plan model (src/plan.mjs), generates the full 730-day plan, builds the website via build-site.mjs, and asserts a set of MUST_PASS checks. It writes verification-report.json (+ .md) and a copy to evidence/. Exit code is non-zero if any check fails.

What each check asserts

  • CompletenessallDays() returns exactly 730 entries; day indices are

contiguous (1..730) and unique.

  • Phase coverage — the 10 phases tile Day 1–730 with no gap or overlap

(each phase starts the day after the previous ends; first=1, last=730); every day resolves to exactly one phase and has a focus and an owner; every phase has workstreams, a parallel track, a goal, and an exit gate.

  • Budget integrityBUDGET_ALLOCATION sums to exactly $200M; CUM_SPEND_M

has 24 points and is monotonically non-decreasing; planned peak spend is under the $200M cap with positive reserve; per-day spend-to-date never decreases across all 730 days.

  • Milestones — all milestone days are within 1..730, strictly ascending and

unique, and each lands inside a defined phase; exactly one FLIGHT milestone targets the Kármán line (100 km) within the launch window (Day 691–715).

  • Crew — exactly 5 people with unique ids and defined scope; every phase lead

and milestone lead is a real crew member.

  • Cadence — every business day has a daily stand-up; every day (including

weekends) has at least one ritual.

  • Month buckets — the per-month grouping partitions all 730 days exactly once.
  • Risk register — discloses the schedule and key-person risks at High impact.
  • DeterminismallDays() serialized twice is byte-identical.
  • Websitebuild-site.mjs exits 0 and writes public/index.html, which

embeds all 730 days ("totalDays":730), the planner, and the company name.

What verification does NOT assert

It makes no claim that any rocket exists, that the design closes physically, or that the 24-month schedule is achievable. Those are disclosed seams in LIMITATIONS.md.
