Assumptions

What the research model takes as given when producing a Resilience Signature. Making assumptions explicit is part of prototype research quality.

1. Clear sky-view and correct antenna installation are assumed unless contradicted by separate terrain evidence.
2. Provider catalog confidence is a research heuristic, not a measured site availability rate or SLA.
3. Coordinates are interpreted inside the Nordic / Arctic / Iceland research envelope (approximately lat 55–85°, lng −30–40°).
4. Mission priorities re-rank recommendations only; they do not change the Signature score.
5. Optional language-model text may polish the recommendation paragraph only — never score, grade, risks, or ranks.
6. Orbital-class latency bands are design-class reference values, not live telemetry for a named site.
7. Research Library and mission scenarios are illustrative operating profiles, not customer projects or procurement dossiers.
8. Local RF interference is not modeled; significant EMI requires an on-site RF survey. Space-weather effects (e.g. polar cap absorption, geomagnetic storms) are out of scope for the deterministic Signature.
