A faithful replay of Legant's Charter demo: an agent company's org chart is its authority graph; re-delegation can only attenuate, so when the founder cuts Growth's budget from $500 to $50, the Bid sub-agent inherits the lower cap and a spend that was approved now bounces.
The org chart is the authority graph
A founder grants a CEO agent a weekly budget; the CEO re-delegates thinner slices down the chain. Every seat’s spending power is a delegation no agent can exceed, and re-delegation can only ever attenuate. Caps are cryptographic, enforced offline at the ad platform — a faithful replay of go run ./examples/charter.
