Mission Control is reviewed automation, not auto-ship
Mission Control runs scheduled drafts behind review queues, caps, and explicit approvals. No silent autonomy.
If you still use the old word "Autopilot" internally, keep the public meaning narrow.
Mission Control is not auto-ship.
It is reviewed automation with visible queues.
Live now
- scheduled runs that draft work from new source material
- review queues before guarded handoff
- risk thresholds and usage caps
- traceable decisions and audit trail
This is the point: faster preparation without hiding who approved what.
What is not live
Mission Control should not:
- silently export work
- mutate your tracker without review
- commit code on its own
- bypass policy, PII, or approval controls
If it does those things, it stops being leverage and starts becoming incident creation.
Rolling out
Mission Control is rolling out as the second layer after Meeting-to-Execution.
The direction is broader reviewed coverage across Ops and Engineering, while keeping:
- visible queues
- operator supervision
- explicit caps
- no silent autonomy
Safe adoption path
Start with one trusted workflow.
Then let Mission Control widen the reviewed surface area only after the first handoff already feels safe.
