# Organizations Overview

> Organizations are the team-level structure in Fusion — own quests, manage members, and control billing.

Every quest in Fusion belongs to an **organization**. Organizations provide team-level ownership, shared billing, and fine-grained permissions for collaborating on research.

## Why Organizations?

* **Shared ownership** — quests belong to the org, not an individual
* **Billing hub** — credits are managed at the org level
* **Access control** — 18 granular permissions across 5 categories
* **Collaboration** — add team members, assign roles, share data

## Key Concepts

| Concept             | Description                                                               |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Slug**            | URL-safe identifier, auto-generated from the org name. Max 50 characters. |
| **Starter credits** | Every new organization gets **free starter credits** automatically.       |
| **Owner**           | The creator is automatically the first admin.                             |
| **Members**         | Other users added by admins. Each member has a custom set of permissions. |
| **Credits**         | 1 credit = 1 cent. All billing goes through the org's credit balance.     |

## Organization Lifecycle

1. **Create** — choose a name, get a unique slug and free starter credits
2. **Add members** — search by username, assign permissions
3. **Create quests** — all quests are scoped to an organization
4. **Publish & run** — publishing, data collection, and storage deduct from the org's credits
5. **Monitor spending** — track expenses per quest, per item type
