The Roadmap
The roadmap provides the timeline for executing doctrine and architecture. Each phase has defined milestones, KPIs, and gates. Progress is measured. Advancement is earned.

Resource Independence
Key consumables sourced from non-Earth origins.
KPI
Percentage of local sourcing
Gate
Critical materials 100% locally sourced
Self-Sustaining Operations
Extended operations without Earth resupply for non-specialized items.
KPI
Sustainment days without resupply
Gate
Annual self-sufficiency achieved
Architecture Replication
Framework successfully applied to new domains beyond cislunar.
KPI
New domains operational
Gate
First non-lunar expansion operational
Scaling Rules
How Progress Triggers Expansion
Gate Passage Required
No milestone advances without meeting its gate criteria. Gates are binary—pass or continue work.
KPI Thresholds
Each phase has minimum KPI thresholds. Failing thresholds triggers stop/scale review.
Resource Allocation
Resources flow toward passing gates. Failing initiatives receive remediation, not expansion.
Timeline Flexibility
Dates are estimates. Gates are requirements. Quality is never traded for schedule.
Roadmap Requires Divisions
The roadmap defines when. The divisions define who. Each division owns specific milestones and KPIs.
