📖What it means

The division of labour at the top: the admin defines the roles, objectives and principles; the delegate engineers HOW the system is designed and implemented to achieve them. Intent is what stops the delegate from quietly changing the goal while improving the machine.

📖Easily confused with

[{"term": "Objective", "distinction": "Intent says who decides the objective; the objective is the thing decided."}]

📖Also called

- division of authority
- the admin's intent
