Effects

Emits Startup.graduated.
Performed by the Founder.
One-way (money, customer): it waits out its delay window, and runs in the send and do modes.
Changes the Company that holds the Startup.
Keeps its address, Customers and Subscriptions.
Requires a human signature, because it moves equity.

Refuses when

Check	Error	Fix	Then call
Company of its own (`graduate-company`)	`refused`	A company of its own holds the Startup, with its Brand, Customers, and records moved intact.	None.
The key is valid, but its scopes do not allow this operation.	`forbidden`	Use a key whose scopes cover the operation, or ask an owner of the namespace to grant them.	Startup.graduate

When it waits

Gate	Default
Decision class	High: one-way, broad (money, customer)
Delay window	1 business day, in which a watcher can pause, redirect or cancel it; then it runs.
Limit	The spend Limit of the Permission or Mandate it runs under.
Over the Limit	It waits `pending` for an Approval from the Founder. Approved, it runs; refused, it ends `refused` with `limit-exceeded`; unanswered by its deadline, it ends `canceled`.
