**After this you will be able to** check spending policy, permission, and human boundaries before delegating to Cowork, Code or Autopilot.

## Steps

1. Label the task: fixed licence or credits.
2. Find spending-policy status — unknown means stay on Chat.
3. List data and contact boundaries.
4. Run a small allowed delegation, or send the ask to IT.
