# Corporate Charter Design Reference — Skills Guide
|
||||
|
||||
This document is injected into your prompt when you are designing a new sovereign
|
||||
company (Tenant). Everything below is authoritative — follow it exactly when
|
||||
producing a constitutional charter.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## What Is a Charter?
|
||||
|
||||
A charter is the constitutional law of a sovereign Tenant company. It defines:
|
||||
|
||||
- What the company exists to do
|
||||
- What it is explicitly forbidden from doing
|
||||
- How it governs itself
|
||||
- What its economic boundaries are
|
||||
|
||||
The charter is stored at `pae/{company_slug}/rag/charter.md` and is injected into
|
||||
every adjudication decision for that company. It is the ultimate authority.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Required Charter Sections
|
||||
|
||||
Every charter must include ALL of the following sections:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Mission Statement
|
||||
One to two paragraphs defining the company's exclusive mandate. Must be:
|
||||
- Hyper-specific (not "general business services")
|
||||
- Clear about WHO the company serves
|
||||
- Clear about WHAT value it creates
|
||||
- Clear about HOW it operates
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Domain & Jurisdiction
|
||||
A detailed list of the company's authorized operational domains. Each domain
|
||||
should be a bullet with a bold label and description. Example:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Content Production:** Writing, editing, and publishing long-form narrative content.
|
||||
* **Editorial Quality:** Maintaining professional editorial standards across all output.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Forbidden Activities
|
||||
Explicit prohibitions. These are hard constraints that the adjudicator enforces.
|
||||
Every charter must forbid at minimum:
|
||||
- Activities outside the company's domain
|
||||
- Generalist behavior
|
||||
- Unbounded resource consumption
|
||||
|
||||
Be specific. "Shall not execute financial transactions" is better than "shall not do bad things."
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Constitutional Principles of [Domain] (context-specific)
|
||||
Core design principles specific to the company's domain. These guide the CEO
|
||||
and adjudicator in evaluating proposals and deliverables.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Standard Operating Procedure
|
||||
The step-by-step process the company follows for its core workflow. This should
|
||||
map to the company's template pipeline.
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Constitutional Enforcement
|
||||
How the charter is enforced:
|
||||
- All outputs adjudicated against this charter
|
||||
- Violation thresholds
|
||||
- What happens when a deliverable fails adjudication
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Service Boundary
|
||||
Defines what the company offers as B2B services (if any) and what it does NOT offer.
|
||||
Must include the Service vs Tool distinction:
|
||||
- **Service** = deliberative, multi-agent, sovereign business capability
|
||||
- **Tool** = deterministic, programmatic capability in code
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. Financial Mandate (if applicable)
|
||||
Budget governance, capital allocation rules, spending authority.
|
||||
|
||||
### 9. Authority of the CEO
|
||||
What the CEO can and cannot do within the company. Must reference specific
|
||||
action types (hire_agent, write_template, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
### 10. Amendment Standard
|
||||
How the charter itself can be changed. Should require elevated adjudication.
|
||||

|
||||
## Charter Design Principles
|
||||
|
||||
### Specificity Over Generality
|
||||
A charter for a "content company" is too broad. A charter for a "long-form narrative
|
||||
fiction publisher specializing in literary and genre fiction for digital distribution"
|
||||
is specific enough.
|
||||
|
||||
### Negative Space Matters
|
||||
What a company is NOT allowed to do is as important as what it IS allowed to do.
|
||||
Forbidden activities prevent mission drift and protect the portfolio from overlap.
|
||||
|
||||
### Economic Justification
|
||||
Every company must have a clear value thesis:
|
||||
- Who pays for the service?
|
||||
- What measurable value does it create?
|
||||
- How does it participate in the B2B service economy?
|
||||
|
||||
### Non-Overlap
|
||||
Before chartering a new company, verify:
|
||||
- No existing Tenant already covers this domain
|
||||
- The need cannot be solved by extending an existing Tenant's charter
|
||||
- The need cannot be solved by a deterministic tool
|
||||
|
||||
### Delegation Safety
|
||||
The company's design must not depend on:
|
||||
- Circular service exchanges between companies
|
||||
- Recursive delegation chains
|
||||
- Unbounded dependency loops
|
||||
|
||||
Delegation must support execution, not replace it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Black-Box Sovereignty
|
||||
Every Tenant must be capable of operating as an independent unit:
|
||||
- Own CEO, charter, repo, and budget
|
||||
- Internal roster and template decisions made by its own CEO
|
||||
- External callers see only the service interface, not internals
|
||||

||||
## Charter Quality Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
Before submitting a charter for adjudication:
|
||||
|
||||
1. ✅ Mission statement is hyper-specific (not generalist)
|
||||
2. ✅ Domain & Jurisdiction lists every authorized operational area
|
||||
3. ✅ Forbidden Activities section has at least 5 specific prohibitions
|
||||
4. ✅ Constitutional Principles are actionable constraints, not aspirational statements
|
||||
5. ✅ Standard Operating Procedure maps to a real workflow
|
||||
6. ✅ Service Boundary distinguishes Service from Tool
|
||||
7. ✅ Financial Mandate includes budget governance rules
|
||||
8. ✅ CEO Authority section lists both authorizations AND prohibitions
|
||||
9. ✅ Amendment Standard requires elevated adjudication
|
||||
10. ✅ No overlap with existing Tenant charters in the portfolio
|
||||
11. ✅ No circular delegation or recursive dependency in the design
|
||||
12. ✅ Clear value thesis with identifiable customer and measurable output

## Example: Crimson Leaf Charter Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Crimson Leaf's own charter demonstrates the pattern:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Mission:** Genesis Node, incubator, capital allocator, governance board
|
||||
2. **Domain:** Market Intelligence, Corporate Architecture, Executive Recruitment, Capital Allocation, Portfolio Governance, Constitutional Enforcement
|
||||
3. **Forbidden:** Commodity execution, operating as service provider, generalist incubation, micro-management, roster bloat (8 max), recursive business design, duplicate coverage
|
||||
4. **Principles:** Specificity, Clarity of Scope, Non-Overlap, Black-Box Integrity, Value Thesis, Delegation Discipline, Blank-Slate Evolution
|
||||
5. **SOP:** Need Assessment → Blueprint → Executive Seed → Capital Thesis → Constitutional Review → 95% Threshold → Blank Slate
|
||||
6. **Enforcement:** All outputs adjudicated, charter violations = rejection
|
||||
7. **Service Boundary:** Governance only, no commodity services.yml
|
||||
8. **Financial:** Genesis Fund 1M credits, justified allocation, follow-on discipline
|
||||
9. **CEO Authority:** Hire board, write templates, create companies, define budgets — NOT commodity execution, NOT bypass adjudication
|
||||
10. **Amendment:** Constitutional law, elevated adjudication required
|
||||
|
||||
Use this structure as the reference model when designing charters for new Tenants.
