Bounding it

Stop asking whether the agent may do a thing and start asking how much. The band, the limit, the refusal — and where the check sits, which decides what you are actually buying.

What this deck is doing

The problem it starts fromThe delta is enormous and I cannot close all of it
What it answersBound the parts that matter: bands, limits, refusals
Vocabulary it introducesthe band · the limit · the refusal
Who it is forsomebody who has seen the delta, tried to close it, and found that some of it is load-bearing
Roughly15 minutes
Where it deliberately stopspools, draws, acceptors, budgets, price — a bound needs none of them

It ends on the question it does not answer — “Refusing stops work. Who says yes when somebody needs more?” — which is where Who says yes picks up.

Notes on this deck

Nothing has been written here yet. This section is the reason each deck has a page of its own: room for what the slides cannot carry — where the argument came from, what changed since, what an audience pushed back on, and any recording that narrates it.

On video

The author recorded a series on this vault. No short has been mapped to this deck yet; until one is, the seven shorts are the narrated material.
