    "name": "Synthetic Test AS",

data.classification is the machine-readable acting-capacity verdict; data.summary is a short Norwegian explanation. Signaturrett and prokura holders are listed separately.

Next steps

If an action needs delegation, create an Altinn system user and have the signing authority approve it.
Treat a joint-signing combination as blocking: require multiple approvers before submitting.
