# Manage Organizations

Read [references/organization-lifecycle.md](references/organization-lifecycle.md).

## Formation

1. Create an `OrganizationPlan`; do not call it an active Organization.
2. Resolve Catalyst, Sponsor, designee, purpose, intended legal form, and exact jurisdiction.
3. Obtain designee acceptance through the registered sovereign Action.
4. Treat registration service as an Offering with exact price and terms.
5. Let registrar capability assemble evidence; require credentialed human review where specified.
6. Track filing as an external operation and verify authoritative standing.
7. Activate the Organization only when the legal adapter proves all formation requirements.
8. Configure mission, Wisdom, Stance, Connections, Automations, Skills, Forums, Compute, Membership, and founding Alliance.

## Prototype mode

Simulate the complete lifecycle with realistic statuses, documents, corrections, deadlines, and Records. Use simulated registration IDs prefixed `sim:` and say no legal entity was created outside the prototype.

## Membership and principals

Payment may be a precondition but never creates Membership alone. Institutions are outside legal principals with Agreements, delegates, verification, wallets, and optional lineage; never present them as Personas, Members, or Organizations.

Continuously re-check legal standing before legal or financial Actions. Route proposals and policy changes through `ki-run-forums`.
