Agent Spend Policy One-Pager
A policy nobody reads isn't a policy. This one-pager fits on a page and maps to real rules.
The one-pager
Budget: daily ceiling [$], per-transaction cap [$].
Vendors: only allowlisted merchants may be paid.
Approvals: purchases over [$] wait for [OWNER].
Hours: overnight spend is flagged for review.
Review: the audit log is reviewed monthly by [OWNER].
Why it works
Every line maps to a rule — the policy and the enforcement are the same document.
FAQ
Is one page enough?
For enforcement, yes — the rules carry the weight, the page carries the intent.
Who signs it?
