Essentially all misjumps are the result of the crew knowing that the
conditions for jump are unsafe, and then deciding to do it anyway
because the risks from not jumping are worse than the risks from
misjump.

The few exceptions will be damage to the ship that is unknown to the
crew (and any monitoring systems), or interruption at a critical
moment during the process (by which time it is too late).  In neither
case would a nanny-AI help.
