VAULT v1.1 — TR-1 to TR-6 Global Architectural Comparison
Abstract
This document presents an architectural comparison of VAULT v1.1 against major global space organizations under the VAULT Test Regime framework (TR-1 through TR-6). Scores reflect formal certification status only (PASS = 1, PARTIAL = 0.5, FAIL = 0) and are intended solely to distinguish between a closed, constraint-complete transport architecture and mission-specific space systems operating without full regime certification. This comparison is not a performance ranking, engineering assessment, or mission-success evaluation. The aggregation shown for other organizations represents a conservative architectural mean and does not imply judgments regarding competence, capability, or institutional effectiveness. Limited partial alignment is noted only where localized mitigation or operational capability exists without global architectural closure. Execution-layer details, interfaces, thresholds, procedures, and deployment artifacts are intentionally excluded. No license or permission for implementation is granted.
