PRISM REASONING
  • Probability estimate: 2%
  • The only scheduled Flight 12 attempt occurs after the market’s resolution time, leaving virtually no viable path to YES
FACTORS FOR
  • +Flight 12 is clearly scheduled and technically readying
  • +FAA data delays could, in theory, complicate timing
FACTORS AGAINST
  • No launch occurred by resolution morning after May 21 scrub
  • Next 90-minute window starts well after contract resolution time
  • FAA, not announcements or streams, controls resolution verification
  • No time remains to schedule and execute an earlier attempt
RESOLUTION PATHS MODELED
Unpublicized earlier FAA-approved Flight 12 launch before 14:00 UTC1%
FAA records somehow timestamp Flight 12 launch before resolution1%
