The scope of decisions a Station can make without escalation. Decisions inside it move without approval. Decisions outside it get escalated.
Decision Rights
Decision Rights terms govern who decides what, at what level, without requiring escalation — and what happens when a decision exceeds a Station's authority. Explicit decision rights eliminate the two most expensive patterns in any organisation: decisions that stall waiting for approval, and decisions made without the authority to make them.
See: Stations
Above Mandate
Any decision that falls outside a Station's Mandate. Requires escalation to the appropriate Course Decision authority. Signals ownership rather than dependence.
Course Decisions
Executive-level decisions that change the route of the Expedition. Market selection, capital allocation, Bearing Changes, Post Roster restructuring. Rare, recorded, and owned at the top.
Station
The human seat in Waypost. A person holds a Station. It defines their territory, their Mandate, their Post Roster, and their accountability to the Expedition.
