Convert to epic and split out issues.
ref Part of 18F/tts-tech-portfolio#152. Similar to 18F/tts-tech-portfolio#77.
Scope needs narrowing to make it actionable.
@afeld is this more what you're thinking about for the Common Control Platform?
Yep! I think we can make the format more easily consumable, but same principle. Updated the title of the issue.
Closing based on the decision made on 4/21/20 to close anything that wasn't a Major current Initiative or Notable mention from the Tech Portfolio Sprint Planning 2020-04-20 radiated intent in slack and open for discussion on reopening.
