}Why this is hard without a governance layer
An investment memo on a private company touches half a dozen vendor categories: web search for press, company-data providers for funding/headcount, news APIs for recent moves, social profiles for team signal, verification for cross-checking facts, and an inference vendor for the final synthesis. Doing this with raw API calls means six contracts, six rate-limit policies, six failure modes, and zero cross-source consistency.
How Mission Control runs it
Submit a company_research mission with budget_usd=5 and constraints.min_sources=4. Mission Control's planner emits a typed 6-step DAG; the Smart Router scores candidates per step (recent verification pass rate, latency, price stability, certified status); the Policy Engine authorizes each step against your single-call cap; the Payment Executor settles via x402 with payment-identifier idempotency. The Verifier runs the deterministic + cross-source layers; the synthesis step writes the memo.
What you get back
A memo with confidence_score (typically 0.85–0.97), a list of cited sources, a route explanation that names every chosen vendor and why, the receipt id for every paid call, and the audit_url for the hash-chained event log. Average completed mission runs $1.40–$3.20 of $5 budget; full lifecycle in 8–18 seconds with mock vendors, 30–90s with real x402.
When to use a higher budget
If you need >4 sources, freshness <14 days, or compete-grade detail (governance moves, exec changes by quarter), bump budget_usd=10. The router will pick higher-priced vendors with better verification pass rates, and the LLM synthesis step gets more headroom.
