Beyond the walls
Business Estates
One Castle. Multiple businesses.
Shared Castle Institutions provide reusable specialist capability. Each sufficiently complex business may have a persistent Steward’s Office. People belong to institutions; work belongs to businesses.
The estate register
Persistent businesses and ventures.
Different levels of evidence and maturity, stated openly.
The Steward model
An operating picture.
Not unlimited authority.
A Business Steward owns business-level reasoning, priorities and outcomes within delegated scope. A Clerk tracks open work; a Tally Keeper tracks business health; a Castle Liaison carries structured requests.
The office does not absorb specialist truth, Crown authority or another business. Human proprietors retain genuine human decisions.
