# Organization lifecycle

`plan → designee acceptance → offering purchase → filing preparation → human/legal review → submitted → acknowledged/correction → verified registration → activation → configuration → launch → operational → suspended/dissolved`

## Required configuration

Name, handle, purpose, description, website, Catalyst, Sponsor, designee, legal adapter, Membership policy, roles, Forums, Records policy, Conflict policy, Compute and Agency pricing, treasury controls, Wisdom, Stance, Connections, Automations, Skills, contactable host/Actor, and launch terms.

## Distinctions

- Community: three or more Personas gathered around purpose, no treasury authority by default.
- Alliance: formal working group with charter, membership, roles, and optional shared wallet.
- Project: work container inside one Organization.
- Institution: external legal principal under Agreements and delegates.

## Legal boundary

An Org ID or simulated filing is not proof of complete legal standing. Require adapter evidence, verification source/time, continuing requirements, next review, and dissolution status.
