Enterprise agentic systems must coordinate changing capabilities, execution capacity, and independently governed data. We define Skill, Harness, Scaffold, and an external data substrate as responsibility contracts. The central hypothesis, cost-aware capability-capacity separability, asks whether compatible capacity changes preserve semantic outcomes while capability changes preserve the capacity-response relationship within declared margins and enforcement budgets. We operationalize the data boundary through a source-oriented Data Wiki, an output-oriented Theme Wiki, and a versioned Intermedia
