How Does a Legal Entity (Like a Corporation) Demonstrate Capacity to Use a Smart Contract?

A corporation demonstrates capacity through its governing documents (e.g. bylaws) and formal resolutions that authorize specific individuals or multi-signature wallets to act on its behalf. The individuals controlling the wallet must have the proper internal authority to bind the corporation to the smart contract's terms.

This requires a link between the on-chain activity and the off-chain corporate governance.
