ExperimentalSeeded v0 model path (not trades)Not default Terminal
This block is quarantined from the default Slot Terminal. It is a labeled stub or simulation, not recorded public occupancy or FCC data, and it is not a market. ITU SNS is not ingested.
Model backfill. Not observed trades, not a price index.
Free seats see a 7-day backfill. Pro unlocks 30-day persisted model path.

This block is quarantined from the default Slot Terminal. It is a labeled stub or simulation, not recorded public occupancy or FCC data, and it is not a market. ITU SNS is not ingested.
Quarantined stubs. Not filled panels. ITU SNS is not ingested in this product. These rows reserve the rights-chain shape; they are not live filings or named lessees.

ITU SNS is not ingested. This flag is not a network name, not brought-into-use evidence, and not a filled filing row. Quarantined stub. A filled ITU network panel would look like a deed; this row is not one.

Quarantined stub. There is no public feed of transponder or payload sub-leases. This layer is reserved for operator-disclosed or future marketplace filings and is not a named lessee.

Simulated capacity book
SIMULATED capacity book — not live bids, offers, or trades. Derived from valuation v0 and congestion so the strip can be read; it is not a marketplace.
