Delegated authority

Authority Register

Autonomy is only safe if somebody wrote down what each agent and each person is allowed to decide.

Health

What the estate is currently allowed to do

Grants in force, who holds them, how often they are used and how often they are exceeded.

How the register is enforced

Not a wall chart

When a decision is recorded, the route resolves a grant first …

Refusals are evidence in their own right.

Expiry is a real state, not a label.

What is still missing

Say it before an examiner does

The holder identity on a grant is a name, not a cryptographic identity.

The persona a user is browsing under is chosen in the interface and is not yet an identity the server trusts.

Delegation is one hop deep.

Actions

What is waiting on a person

A grant is a written permission with an expiry, a cap and a named delegator.

Operations

What this desk is allowed to start

A surface that only reports is not operable.

Trigger and bound

This desk can grant, narrow, extend or revoke a permission, and every one of those is written to the spine with the person who did it.

Live observability

What the record shows right now

Grants split almost evenly between agents and people. 352,403 uses in the last thirty days produced 148 attempts above cap.

Current distribution

309 grants

Held by an agent15450%
Held by a person15550%

Is policy and strategy coming to fruition

Whether the written intent is holding here

148 cap breaches against 352,403 uses — 0% of exercised authority went past its bound.

Not holding on the record

The policy position is that no actor, agent or human, may commit the company past a stated value without a named delegator standing behind it.
