Profile-specific limits
  • Direct Business Owner reassignment from a later Vault 50 batch fills the science vacancy created by Meitner's exclusion.
  • NASA work is described as team-based institutional work; no sole-credit claim is made.
  • Racial segregation context is retained only to the extent supported by institutional histories.
