📝 ESSAY

Envelopes travel down, exceptions travel up. The paper does the governing.
📍 IN BRIEF
Multi-level governance aligns a platform through what each tier publishes, not through who attends its meetings. A tier that hands the layer below a current, written envelope to build within, and hands the layer above exceptions rather than updates, keeps the estate aligned through every reorganisation and resignation. A tier whose only output is minutes is aligning individuals, and that alignment walks out of the building when they do.
