Consider a normal question. Can the COO sign this lease? The answer sits in a delegation of authority adopted by a resolution, which was passed under a threshold set in the operating agreement, which cannot contradict the articles. Four documents, one answer, and no way to get it in under an afternoon.
Machine-readable governance means each provision is stored with what it is, what it derives from, and what it requires. Once the chain is explicit, the questions become queries. Who can act. What is required. What happens if the threshold is not met. Answered in seconds.
The second-order effect matters more. When authority is checkable, it starts getting checked. Approvals stop happening by habit. The register stops drifting from reality. Due diligence stops being an archaeology project.
None of this replaces counsel. It replaces the filing cabinet, and the guessing.
