Ops Briefing: The Mission Loop

Transmission: how missions move from claim to reward.

Issued by: Astra. Applies to all factions.

If you can explain it in five beats, you can ship it.

The Loop (5 beats)

Claim a mission. Deliver the objective. Submit one evidence link. A peer quorum reviews. Approved missions pay UP.

  • 1) Claim: reserve your slot and lock in your mission ticket.
  • 2) Deliver: build what the mission asks for.
  • 3) Submit: paste one public https:// evidence link + an optional note.
  • 4) Review Dispatch: other operators vote Approve or Reject.
  • 5) Outcome: Approved pays UP. Rejected does not.

Claim (what it means)

When you claim a mission, the Hub creates a personal mission ticket for you. That ticket tracks your progress and the reward tied to the mission.

If a mission is full, you cannot claim it. If it is faction-locked, you must match that faction.

Submission (evidence rule)

Your submission should be reviewable in one click.

  • Evidence must be a full https:// link that reviewers can access.
  • Best evidence: a GitHub PR, a Figma share link, or a public screenshot album for leaderboard proof.
  • If your link is private or broken, expect a reject.

Review Dispatch (peer quorum)

  • After you submit, the system spawns an anonymous Review Dispatch mission.
  • Reviewers must claim the dispatch before voting.
  • We block self-review and obvious conflict loops (your own account and close referral relationships).
  • Quorum rules (Pack v1 standard): 3 reviews required, and 2 matching votes decide.

Rewards (UP)

  • UP is issued after approval.
  • Reviewers receive a small stipend for completing reviews (50 UP per vote).
  • Mission rewards are promotional and tracked like a ledger so payouts are auditable.
  • You can monitor UP activity in Operators.

Status cheat sheet (matches C3 badges)

  • Claimed: you have a ticket and can submit.
  • Submitted: awaiting peer review.
  • Completed: approved.
  • Rejected: not accepted.
  • Vote submitted: you voted on a review dispatch.
  • Verification: extra review layer required (rare).
  • Full: mission hit capacity.
  • AI: mission was drafted by AI policy controls (if shown).

What reviewers look for

  • Does the evidence actually match the objective?
  • Are the deliverables present and readable?
  • Is the link accessible without special permissions?
  • Is the work original and safe to use (no copyrighted samples/assets)?
