I don't get why you need BitCoin/multisig for this. As long as you are "giving a key" to a computer, this is no different than programming a computer to oversee the middle-manager's spending from a bank account.

I get that multi-sig and bitcoin can be good, but as long as you already have the decision-making and power setup of a corporation, this is a marginal benefit. I would see this technology being more useful for trust-type situations where you might want to give a lawyer, a beneficiary, and a guardian a key. Or any sort of situation where power is actually split between multiple entities - seems like the boss still has all the power in the situation described.
