The story

The founder writes down what the agent may decide alone. Questions inside that authority get a ruling and a written reason. Harder ones go to a panel of several AI models first, and the agent rules on what they return. Anything outside the authority reaches the founder by email or text, and the action waits until the answer comes back.
