Observation Quality Reviews

Observation quality reviews are operational triage. Spectroscopy interest means review prioritization — not atmospheric detection, biosignature evidence, or habitability conclusion.

Spectroscopy interest is review prioritization only. No biosignature, habitability, anomaly, or life conclusion is being made. Live MAST/JWST access remains disabled.

Spectroscopy Interest Triage

Spectroscopy interest means this observation has wavelength coverage and instrument configuration potentially useful for follow-up review.

It does NOT mean: atmospheric feature detected, biosignature evidence, habitability confirmed, anomaly found, or life detected.

Static preview. JWST NIRSpec G395H observation shows good wavelength coverage.

Scientific Caution

No review score is scientific evidence by itself.

Quality reviews do not modify observation raw_payload or provenance.

All data remains fixture/mock/local unless a future sprint adds gated live access.
