The constraints within which Scout may prepare or execute an authorized shopping task.
INSIDE SCOUT AUTHORITY ENVELOPE
Purpose, systems, and connections.
Authority Envelope defines product, seller, alternatives, all-in amount, condition, deadline and transaction limits. Financing, subscriptions and substitutions remain explicit choices.
Cost and delivery
Maximum total, quantity and timing remain binding.
Special permissions
Recurring terms, financing and substitutions require their own authority.
How it connects
Scout cannot enlarge the envelope because an exception seems small or convenient.
