Measured
Produced from an observation or computation with a stated method, source, and time context.
Trust · Provenance and boundaries
Know what a number is before you act on it.
BeamDesk keeps source, method, epoch, and uncertainty close to consequential outputs. Trust comes from visible boundaries—not from flattening every input into one confident-looking value.
Provenance system
Evidence classes stay visible.
A label is not a promise of equal certainty. It tells the reader how the value entered the system and which follow-up question to ask before relying on it.
Documented
Supported by a public or access-controlled record whose citation remains attached.
Estimated
Produced by BeamDesk modelling or an explicit assumption, rather than retrieved as fact.
Provisional or constrained
Incomplete, bounded by unresolved conditions, or not yet offered for reliance.
Orbital data
Comparable only inside the same sky.
An orbital score changes when the registered fleet or elements change. BeamDesk therefore treats fleet identity and epoch as part of the result, not as background implementation detail.
Fleet epochs
Every match belongs to an epoch
Coverage, valuation, and matching outputs retain the fleet epoch used to compute them. Scores from different epochs should not be compared as though the sky were unchanged.
Provider degradation
Unavailable is a valid answer
When a required real fleet is missing, fleet-dependent coverage and scoring refuse the request. Unrelated marketplace routes can remain available without silently mixing mock and real data.
Privacy and documents
Public discovery stops before private evidence begins.
Public parcel data
Approximate enough to discover
The public listing API omits owner identity and exact parcel boundaries. It rounds parcel centroids to two decimal degrees—about one kilometre—so an integration can find regional capacity without exposing a contactable property.
Document storage
Encrypted, authorized, and audited
Listing documents are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and have no plaintext storage fallback. Metadata listing and document reads are separate; content access is membership or internal-role checked and recorded in the audit log.
Encryption key continuity matters: changing or losing the configured document key makes existing encrypted uploads unreadable.
Interpretation boundaries
Design values, time averages, and legal conclusions are different things.
Power basis
Rated is not average
Rated power describes the active design condition. Average delivery incorporates how often geometry and schedule make that condition available. BeamDesk labels the basis so the two are not substituted.
Screening
A constraint result is not a permit
Standards and exposure screens expose assumptions and cited editions. They do not replace site measurement, regulator review, licensing, or jurisdiction-specific advice.
Uncertainty
Regulation can change
Applicable limits, allocations, approvals, and evidence requirements depend on place, frequency, project design, and current rules. Unresolved conditions remain visible as constraints.
Security contact
Report a security issue privately, without secrets in a public issue.
Use the configured security contact for suspected vulnerabilities or data-exposure concerns. Do not include credentials, API keys, session tokens, sign-in links, or sensitive documents in an initial report.
Operational trust
Carry the source and the boundary into every decision.
