Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent handle parties and festive gatherings by occasion, host, guests, venue and safety, and separate them from political parties.

A social gathering of invited or attending guests, held to celebrate, socialise or mark an occasion, usually with food, drink, music or entertainment; festivals and fairs are larger public forms.

What it is for: Celebrating occasions and bringing people together.

It can be host and plan it; invite and attend; license it, when public, with music or alcohol; manage its safety, noise and crowds.
