Methodology IP

S/PF/F split is non-negotiable methodology. Partial failures are NOT collapsed into failures. A partial (e.g. payload delivered to wrong orbit, booster lost on otherwise-successful flight) is treated as a distinct outcome for underwriting. See /methodology/.

REUSE CURVE

Success rate by booster flight number — how this vehicle's flight-proven stages perform across reuses. Lower Wilson bound included for low-N flight counts.

Flight	N	S / PF / F	Breakdown	Success	Wilson LB
Flight 1	3	2 / 1 / 0		66.7%	20.8%

Fleet Leader

NG-3 · 1 flights. Registry: NG-2 booster (flight 1 recovered).

Low-N caveat: 1 reuse bucket(s) have fewer than 10 flights. Point estimates should be read alongside the Wilson lower bound.

SUBSYSTEM RELIABILITY

Per-system success rates aggregated across all flights with recorded subsystem outcomes. Systems without a row are "not tracked for this vehicle yet" — we never fabricate success.

METHODOLOGY

Per-vehicle reliability is aggregated from the AstraVeris launch_events table with Wilson 95% lower-bound error estimates. Subsystem outcomes are extracted by a local Gemma model from primary-source articles — outcomes are never fabricated; absence of a row means "not tracked". Aspirational vehicles (not yet flown) carry registry-only metadata with explicit "Not yet flown" banners. Full specifications: /methodology/. Licensing terms: /data-licensing/.

Not investment advice. For insurance underwriting, verify against operator investigation reports.
