We Report Real Outcomes Only After They Happen
How SpaceForge will report graduate outcomes: consented, anonymized, and published only after the response threshold is met.
How We Measure
Twelve Dimensions Make One Honest Picture.
Outcomes are self-reported by consenting alumni. Every submission is kept, so a graduate who answers more than once adds an observation rather than replacing the last one — but the survey is one open form, not a schedule of timed waves, and we do not yet prompt anyone at a fixed interval. Four of the twelve are questions the survey asks today; the other eight are designed and marked below, and the page will not report a dimension it has not collected. Every slice we publish — a salary band, a sector, a credential level — is withheld until at least five graduates stand behind that particular slice, not merely five behind the survey as a whole. A band of one is an individual's salary wearing a category's name.
- 01
Compensation band
Total pay, base plus variable, as a band. Self-reported.
- 02
Promotions since program
Count of title or scope changes since graduating.
- 03
Sector of placement
Defense, commercial space, civil space, aerospace, consulting, government or academia.
- 04
Function of placementDesigned, not yet collected
Engineering, ops, policy, venture, science, design.
- 05
Credential usefulness
1-5 rating of how useful the credential has proved.
- 06
Module-by-module impactDesigned, not yet collected
Which curriculum modules drove which work outcomes.
- 07
Immersion impactDesigned, not yet collected
Whether each immersion changed the student's career path.
- 08
Capstone-to-employer matchDesigned, not yet collected
Whether capstone work led directly to a role.
- 09
AI-collaboration trajectoryDesigned, not yet collected
Independence score growth across the program. Computed in-programme today; not yet carried into the outcomes report.
- 10
Cross-disciplinary work shareDesigned, not yet collected
Share of post-program work spanning two or more disciplines.
- 11
Network densityDesigned, not yet collected
Reported peer and faculty connections still active 12 months out.
- 12
Net promoter (program-impact)Designed, not yet collected
Would you recommend the program? The 1-5 impact rating we collect is a different question on a different scale.
IRB review planned
Survey design and consent flow will be submitted to ASU's Institutional Review Board for review before any data is collected.
K ≥ 5 anonymity threshold
No aggregate slice is published if it would isolate fewer than five respondents. The floor is counted per slice and per person, so one graduate answering twice still counts once.
Opt-in, anytime-out
Only graduates who consent to research are included. Withdrawing takes you out of every aggregate and every export from that moment on. We keep the record of the withdrawal itself, because that is what enforces it — and a dataset already sent to a researcher cannot be called back, so withdrawal works forward, not back.
Founding-Cohort Timeline
When Real Numbers Land Here
The founding cohort is the first to generate outcomes data on this site. Until then, this page describes the rigor we will apply once data exists.
On approval
Founding cohort begins
30 seats. Six modules launch in sequence.
Then
First immersion completes
The point at which immersion impact and module-by-module skill gain become answerable. Neither is collected today; both are marked above.
After that
First reportable outcomes
Once five graduates have submitted consented responses, this page publishes aggregates — each slice separately, and only where five stand behind that slice.
