RESEARCH WORKSPACE / PUBLIC BETA
Bring evidence, objections and next tests into one decision record.
Built first for research teams planning experiments in energy, climate and infrastructure. Researchers across disciplines are welcome.
Record why you chose an experiment, keep the objections, and flag linked decisions for review when a source change is reported.

Demonstrates: an inspectable exploratory inventory using identified real EPA data.
Does not establish: a causal finding, independent validation, or proof that ASTRA improves research outcomes. This artifact is separate from the fictional heat-loss walkthrough.
How should we measure reporting-day availability around Atlanta? Raw EPA row counts can mislead because sites report multiple measurement streams—up to 3.3 rows per reported day in this inventory. We propose distinct reporting days per site and per stream, with no site ranking.
The inventory covers sites within 40 km of central Atlanta, across five counties. A stream is identified by POC, method code and sample duration. These are reporting-day counts, not a completeness or population-coverage measure.
A developer-run checksum and count check passed on the retained CSV. The original EPA archive was not reverified.
Status: draft. Challenges are AI-generated; no human reviewer has responded and nothing has been independently reproduced. This record shows reasoning, not a finding about air quality.
ONE DECISION / ONE PILOT
Start your own investigation or ask about help with one team investigation.
The launch focus is energy, climate and infrastructure teams; students and researchers in other fields can also use the workspace.
Free self-service beta
Use the workspace to connect sources, record objections and export your work.
Includes browser drafts and exports; account saving requires sign-in. Personal assistance and expert review are not included.
Open the free workspace →Team workspace
Organize one investigation and prepare a version for your reviewer. Guided setup asks for your team name, question and reviewer.
Start the self-service workspace now. Assisted pilot scope and availability require a separate enquiry; no payment is collected.

ASTRA is a research workspace today; a wider scientific community is still being built. Our ambition is to support the scientific cooperation needed for a Type I civilization. The practical starting point is a research decision that others can inspect, challenge and improve.
ASTRA has no completed, independently reviewed study demonstrating its effectiveness. Source-change flags appear in linked decision records when you load or refresh them after a change is reported. Selected Crossref DOIs and topics support scheduled checks; coverage depends on the configured watchlist and connected runner. This is not comprehensive literature monitoring. Recorded objections and revised plans do not establish scientific validity.
Account saving requires sign-in. Saving does not share a project; reviewer access requires a separate action. Review history provides tamper evidence, not an immutable ledger. Pilot pricing and support require agreement; no checkout is enabled.
