| Change | Agents can send as the Human under a Mandate scoped by Channel, volume, topics, and Limits. | This model |

## Example
A retired school principal chairs a [Startup](/business/nouns/startup) that sells lesson plans to teachers. She sets the quarter's [Goal](/business/nouns/goal) and the discount [Limit](/business/nouns/limit), signs the annual filings, and reads each week's [Decision](/business/nouns/decision). She moved from working CEO to chair once every decision class she answered had reached `full`.
