A traceable measurement corpus
Organize observations with their sources, units, dates, and limitations. Preserve the distinction between measured results, estimates, and proposed capabilities so a comparison does not turn an assumption into a fact.

Lunar Economy Intelligence
Better decisions about the lunar economy start with comparable evidence. NEXUS is developing the data and analytical foundations for understanding what lunar infrastructure needs, what it costs, and how its parts depend on one another.
In development. Discuss research questions and data requirements with the team.
Constanellis builds five programs from the ground outward: FORGE and NEXUS on the ground, HERMES and WIRES in orbit, ATLAS on the lunar surface. NEXUS is the ground stage of that sequence.
The question
A mission budget describes one mission. An economy connects many: transportation, power, communications, manufacturing, and the organizations that depend on them. NEXUS studies those connections so assumptions can be compared and gaps can be identified.
The work brings together a measurement corpus, a price index, an input/output model, and a coordination layer. These are development areas, with methods and coverage to be established as the work progresses.
Program scope
Organize observations with their sources, units, dates, and limitations. Preserve the distinction between measured results, estimates, and proposed capabilities so a comparison does not turn an assumption into a fact.
Study costs and dependencies across the lunar economy. An input/output model can help show how a change in one service affects the others, while subsidy-gap analysis examines where an activity's costs and available demand do not yet meet.
Identify where organizations face related requirements. The coordination layer is intended to make those connections easier to understand, with the evidence and assumptions available for review.
Deliverables
The question, the evidence that bears on it, and the evidence that does not yet exist, each item carrying its source, date, units, and stated limits.
How the service you are deciding on depends on transportation, power, communications, and manufacturing, and what a change in one moves in the others. Labeled as analysis, never as measured market fact.
Published and estimated figures kept apart, with the assumption behind each estimate written down so it can be challenged.
When a source revises or a figure is retracted, the brief revises with it, and the change is recorded.
The catalog · 4 lines, 1 quoting today
Each line with what you receive, how it is bought, and the stage it is actually at. No prices: the number is quoted against your requirement.
| Line | What you receive | Unit of sale | Status | Earliest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| N-01Interface mismatch analysis for a named architecture | Every interface where the provider and the receiver disagree, quantified, ranked and traced to its source | Per architecture, per revision | Quoting today | Immediate |
| N-02Price ladder and input output matrix | A maintained, machine readable dataset of what lunar goods and services are said to cost and what each system consumes and produces | Per report, then per seat | In development | Year 1 to 2 |
| N-03Subsidy gap analysis | What anchor commitment closes a business case that does not close on its own, computed rather than asserted | Per case | In development | Year 1 to 2 |
| N-04Measurement corpus access | Reference data from qualification campaigns, structured so it can be used to design against rather than read | Per seat, per domain | In development | Year 2 to 3 |
Maturity
Every label reads from the one auditable maturity file. Nothing has flown; nothing below is offered as a service today.
| Part | Status | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement corpus | Observations organized with source, units, date, and limitations, measured results kept apart from estimates and proposals. | |
| Price index | Cost and price figures for lunar infrastructure services, with the basis of each figure and its date. | |
| Input/output model | The dependency structure between services, so a change in one can be traced through the others. | |
| Coordination layer | Where organizations face related requirements, made legible with the evidence and assumptions attached. | |
| Data products | The form in which the above is delivered to a customer. Scope and terms are agreed per engagement. |
Limits
Engagement
You describe the decision, the geography or service, and the evidence you already hold, at a non-sensitive level.
We reply with what the evidence can and cannot establish, and what a brief would contain. No work is proposed before that.
The brief arrives with its sources, assumptions, and limits attached, and a corrections path if a source moves.
