Could Lily Sloan have been a Supervisor?

Heads-up: this ties very mildly into Picard material, but no spoilers (or even mentions other than this one)
So here I am, reading through some Wiki entries, and a thought struck me, and while I have lots of crazy, off-the-wall theories about everything, this one actually has traction, when you think about it.

So I am writing an entry for Aegis and their supervisors (like Gary 7) for my homebrew stuff, and how those supervisors stick close to certain important people, just to make sure "history happens the way it should". And then I thought about Lily Sloan (StarTrek: First Contact), and how she fits that bill. In fact, one wonders how Zefram Cochrane would have gotten anything done if she wasn't around. And then I think of how she was aboard the Enterprise - she was not only way too calm about her situation, she just rolled with it, and tried to take the situation over by taking Picard hostage...not the kind of thing most normal folks would do when confronted with 'alien space men' and super-advanced technology. I almost expected her to say, "The Borg? Here? NOW? What have you done!" I just think she was way too much 'together' to be fawning over an old drunk with crazy delusions of grandeur (although technically he was only 31, IIRC - alcohol has terrible effects on a person LOL).

No, she couldn't have been a Supervisor. She didn't "just roll with" anything. When she awoke in the Ent-E sick bay, she had no idea that she was in orbit on a vessel in outer space. As far as she knew, she was still on Earth. She probably thought she had been taken to an Eastern Coalition hideout. Just being in space caught her completely by surprise. And she was clearly taken aback by the sight of extraterrestrial beings such as Klingons and Borg, dumfounded by the idea of getting along without money, and confounded by future tech like phasers and force fields. But Supervisors we have seen in the Trek "cannnnon" have had a high level of awareness of advanced technology, the galactic scene and the existence of many spacefaring species, and even future events or timelines. Lily knew none of this stuff.

She probably did most of the work based on him sharing his vision with her.

How much actual building did Musk do? I'd bet it was people he shared the vision with that got shit done.

True about people like Musk and even Gates - I bet he hasn't programmed anything bigger than his phone in years.

As for Lily, she could have been feigning stuff. True, it would be highly unusual that she would get to know her 'charge' personally, but maybe she had to? The guy just wasn't getting it done otherwise? And it turns out, its because the Enterprise was meant to go back and help iron-out his last bit of problems for him. Its both funny and sad that he gets a great mention/scene in Enterprise (and even an episode based around the movie events!), like he was the great & noble hero history made him out to be, when it really took an entire team to accomplish his idea. But once again, we can say the same thing about guys like Musk.

A Supervisor would not be aware of, is afraid of Data?

Anything is possible.

But, this is highly unlikely.
