Provider Certification
An application + review process that promotes a provider's certification_status to certified after 5 criteria pass.
Mission Control's certification flow is the moat against fly-by-night vendors. Five required criteria, each tracked as pending | passing | failing:
1. uptime_99_5_pct — ≥ 99.5% rolling. 2. schema_conformance — output matches advertised schema on a corpus. 3. receipt_support — vendor signs offers/receipts (x402 extension). 4. refund_sla — refund-on-failure within stated window. 5. security_questionnaire — completed and reviewed.
Approval is gated on every criterion passing — the engine refuses approval if any criterion is pending or failing. Certified providers earn a Verified badge in the public scorecard and a routing-score boost.
