Purpose

This page defines the coordination structure between Affiliate Brain and Finance Brain.

It exists to ensure capital allocation decisions are:

  • governed
  • traceable
  • risk-aware
  • survivability-aligned
  • consistent across all testing phases

Affiliate Brain identifies opportunities.

Finance Brain controls capital exposure.

HeadOffice resolves conflicts when required.

Core Principle

Affiliate Brain does not approve capital.

Finance Brain does not create offers.

HeadOffice ensures alignment with system survivability.

Scope of Coordination

This layer governs communication relating to:

  • testing budget requests
  • scaling budget approvals
  • test-phase capital limits
  • performance-based capital increases
  • risk containment thresholds
  • capital freeze triggers
  • survivability guardrails

Coordination Trigger Points

Coordination occurs when:

  1. Affiliate Brain requests budget for testing
  2. Affiliate Brain requests budget increase for scaling
  3. testing results impact capital exposure
  4. capital risk exceeds defined thresholds
  5. survivability guardrails are approached
  6. HeadOffice intervention is required

Information Flow

Affiliate Brain sends:

  • offer ID
  • test phase classification
  • test budget request
  • expected signal type
  • expected learning objective
  • estimated risk profile
  • test duration
  • escalation conditions

Finance Brain evaluates:

  • capital availability
  • capital at risk
  • survivability thresholds
  • exposure concentration
  • testing velocity impact
  • historical performance patterns

Decision Categories

Finance Brain decisions fall into:

Approved
Approved with limits
Conditional approval
Deferred
Rejected
Escalate to HeadOffice

Capital Protection Rules

Finance Brain must ensure:

no single test risks system survivability

testing velocity does not exceed capital capacity

multiple concurrent tests remain within exposure limits

capital allocation remains evidence-driven

Escalation Conditions

Escalation to HeadOffice occurs when:

capital allocation conflicts with strategic direction

risk concentration exceeds tolerance

cross-brain dependencies create structural risk

exception requests fall outside standard rules

Architectural Role

This page sits in the Routing Layer because it governs how decision-relevant information flows between Brains.

It does not define scoring logic.

It defines coordination logic.

Future Expansion

Future versions may include:

structured request schemas

task payload templates

risk classification layers

automated budget gating logic

capital velocity dashboards

cross-brain risk balancing logic
