Working in or for the off-Earth industry, by either route
What the A0 tier requires: a role in or for the industry, whichever route led to it. One node with a name so the tier file stays a plain list.
The test: what counts as it having happened
Either route node it depends on has resolved yes.
Settled by: The resolving route node's own source
The odds, by how long I live
| baselineto 2071 ± 8 | moderateto 2080 | strongto 2095 | radicalto 2136 | openno deadline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
Each column is a different guess at how long I live, from current trends (baseline) to open-ended. The number is the chance this happens before that deadline, assuming everything it depends on happens first. As of September 19th, 2026.
Why these numbers: Resolves whenever either route does; certainty here means the number is carried entirely by the two route nodes, as with the biology hedge.
What this one is worth
If this happened tomorrow and nothing else changed, the chance that I live and work off Earth by 2071 goes from 0.5% to 0.8% (+0.3 points). If it turned out no, the same number goes to 0.0% (−0.5 points).

This is what the site says in advance, before the thing happens. When it does, the
ledger entry that records it quotes this figure beside what actually followed, so a
reader can see whether the prediction held. Worked out at the run
2026-10-11-scan by holding this step at each outcome in turn and
playing the whole tree out again, 20,000 times per
scenario. That is a throw of the dice, so a move smaller than about
0.10 points is inside the noise rather than
a finding.
