Purpose
The MCR Insight Review Cadence defines how frequently captured intelligence should be reviewed.
It ensures:
useful signals are not forgotten
review timing is predictable
review workload remains controlled
system evolution occurs deliberately
active build sessions are not interrupted unnecessarily
Core Principle
Review discipline protects focus.
Not every insight requires immediate action.
Structured review timing prevents distraction and structural instability.
Review Frequency by Insight Type
High Priority Signals
Review Frequency:
Weekly
Examples:
new monetisation opportunities
new traffic methods
compliance risks
structural system constraints
major AI capability changes
Signals affecting survivability or system performance should be reviewed quickly.
Medium Priority Signals
Review Frequency:
Monthly
Examples:
workflow improvements
automation enhancements
productivity tools
system optimisation concepts
These signals often require pattern observation before structural decisions.
Low Priority Signals
Review Frequency:
Quarterly
Examples:
emerging technologies
speculative frameworks
future capability concepts
early-stage AI tools
Low urgency signals should accumulate evidence before review.
Deferred Signals
Review Frequency:
Based on trigger condition
Defined in:
MCR Deferred Review Register
Examples:
dependent on creation of new Brain
dependent on infrastructure maturity
dependent on validated workflow stage
Review Event Triggers
An insight should be reviewed immediately if:
multiple related signals appear
repeated relevance across different sources
dependency becomes active
related Brain becomes active
insight impacts capital allocation
insight impacts compliance exposure
insight impacts system survivability
Review Outcome Options
Each review must result in one of the following:
remain Captured
change to Candidate
change to Deferred
change to Experimental
promote to Brain
archive
reject
Review Responsibility
HeadOffice controls review discipline.
Research Brain may assist pattern identification.
Experimentation Brain may assist validation logic.
No Brain may self-promote structural expansion.
