Authority between organisations
Make professional appointments machine-checkable.
Structure the authority of lawyers, tax advisers, customs agents and other representatives while keeping legal interpretation with the relevant parties.
The authority gap
Professional credentials can prove status or identity without proving a current client appointment for the transaction being attempted.
