Definition #
The operational reach the role needs to actually deliver its responsibilities. Responsibility comes with the role itself; authority is what the operator grants the role to execute those responsibilities.

Canon. Load-bearing component of [The Power-Accountability Pairing]. Without it, [Accountability Demand] cannot legitimately run.
Why Behind the Thinking #
Operators who skip granting authority run [The Scapegoat Model] — they demand outcomes from roles that lack the reach to produce them. The operator’s work is to make sure every role in the building has the authority needed to be accountable for their piece of the GX. Train the reach. Equip the reach. Position the reach. Then demand the reach be used.
