Orchestration Fee

Mission Control's revenue model: a percentage on top of vendor spend, charged per completed mission.

Mission Control's commercial model is a small fee on top of vendor spend, charged per completed mission. The default rate is 10% with a $0.05 per-mission floor (so a tiny lookup mission still books some revenue). Per-org overrides are supported via MC_BILLING_RATE_<ORG_ID>=rate:min_usd.

The fee is recorded in billing_events at MissionCompleted time. It's idempotent on mission_id — a denied dispute that returns the mission to completed doesn't double-charge. Recurring billing exports as Stripe metered events via /v1/billing/stripe-export.
