# Mission Design

## Purpose

Maintain the complete 20-stage mission workbench contract.

## Current doctrine

- A mission begins with authority, customer, mandate, jurisdiction, and intelligence requirement.
- The workbench stores drafts locally, imports and exports JSON, and links fields to records.
- Level D requires states, transitions, evidence events, failure paths, extraction states, debrief outputs, and a seed.

## Alliance-Driven Mission Design

- Missions may test consultation, burden sharing, interoperability, intelligence caveats, mediation, deconfliction, rumor correction, confidence, defection, refusal, disengagement, reintegration, or alliance fracture.
- Every alliance mission declares relationship domain, lifecycle state, evidence confidence, internal blocs, affected communities, and change triggers.
- Safe mission seeds use fictional actors and must not reproduce actionable real-world recruitment, covert support, attack, evasion, or targeting methods.

Evidence: [worldbuilding synthesis](../docs/long-term-memory/reports/alliance-and-recruitment-worldbuilding-system.md#reviewed-synthesis) and [integration report](../docs/long-term-memory/reports/alliance-faction-and-network-world-system-integration-report.md#findings).
