Kingmaking makes authority operable.
Authority may be legitimate and still remain ceremonial. Operational kingmaking builds the decision rights, owners, measures, cadence, and transfer conditions that let a responsible sovereign make a mandate real.
An operating definition.
Royal language must resolve into literal authority, constraints, owners, measures, and transfer.
Operational kingmaking begins with legitimate, named authority. It identifies the binding constraint, defines the smallest sufficient intervention, installs an accountable operating cadence, and makes client command the condition of completion.
Sovereignty stays with the client.
The client remains sovereign. The responsible client owner holds final decision authority, owns each consequential decision, and receives the system against agreed transfer, exit, and closure criteria.
The boundary is part of the method.
