Capture FACET Licensing Intelligence via FOIA & Scrape

Executive summary
Current state
NASA Ames Research Center offers FACET air traffic management software for licensing, creating a commercialisation gap between NASA's research-grade IP and the urgent market need for scalable high-altitude drone/UAS corridor management solutions. The asymmetry exists between NASA's regulatory credibility and simulation capabilities versus the market's desperate need for implementable solutions facing increasing regulatory pressure.
Market catalyst
NASA's FACET licensing process is opaque - the exact terms, existing licensees, and technical limitations are buried in internal documents and FOIA-able correspondence, while drone/UAS operators desperately need to know if FACET is viable for their use cases but lack access to this intelligence.
