Partnership go / no-go decision record

Eight tests, a weighted score, and the part most decision records omit, which is what would have to change for the decision to be revisited.

Who it is for

Anyone being asked to sign a satellite, direct-to-device or neutral-host partnership.

Eight tests, six of them drawn from what the public record showed in our direct-to-device series
A weighted score in which an unassessed test scores zero, so the number falls until the work is done
A gate that flags any single failed test, because a high average does not make a failed spectrum-control test safe
A worked example scoring the T-Mobile / SpaceX arrangement from the public record, in which two of the eight tests cannot be scored at all
