PREPAREDNESS DOCTRINE
How Solar Flare Innovations compares national preparedness.
The doctrine compares what governments actually establish about severe space weather, household preparedness, and infrastructure disruption. It does not fill one jurisdiction’s gaps with another jurisdiction’s guidance.
Evidence labels
Direct government evidence
A claim explicitly stated by a national government, public authority, regulator, or other official source.
Derived or inferred conclusion
A conclusion drawn from cited evidence rather than directly stated as doctrine. It must be labeled and may not be represented as government policy.
SFI recommendation
An action or product response proposed by Solar Flare Innovations that is not specifically required by the cited government doctrine.
Publication thresholds
Level A: strong explicit national household preparedness doctrine plus relevant national or infrastructure evidence. Full country page eligible.
Level B: usable national household preparedness doctrine and infrastructure evidence, but no dedicated household space-weather duration or equivalent explicit doctrine.
Country material is published according to the strength and completeness of the evidence available, not according to a predetermined narrative.
What this prevents
- Presenting inferred preparedness measures as official doctrine.
- Using one country’s household guidance to fill another country’s evidence gap.
- Treating infrastructure planning as proof of household preparedness.
- Presenting SFI recommendations as government requirements.
This methodology is the foundation for the country pages and comparative tools that follow.
