Establishes ownership, definitions, quality, access, and lineage for the organization's data. Use this when metrics disagree between teams, when nobody knows which dataset is authoritative, when setting up data ownership or access policy, when data quality is unreliable, or before opening a dataset to a wider audience.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Data governance Governance has a reputation for bureaucracy because it is usually implemented as approval queues. Done properly it is the opposite: it makes data usable without asking anyone. ## Start with definitions, not policy The highest-value governance artifact is a metric dictionary. For each business metric: - The **plain-language definition** — what it counts, and what it deliberately excludes. - The **computation**, unambiguously: source table, filters, time grain, timezone. - The **owner** — a person who decides when it is disputed. - **Known caveats** — when it is misleading, and what changed historically. Most metric disputes dissolve once both parties read the same definition and discover they were measuring different things. Almost none require a policy. Watch the ones that look obvious. "Active customer," "revenue," and "signup" each have half a dozen defensible definitions, and the ambiguity surfaces at the worst moment. ## Ownership Every dataset has a named owner accountable for its quality and access — a person, not a team. Unowned datasets decay, and nobody notices until a decision is made on stale data. …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/data-governance@sha256:aa1d3f1741a51500The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.0e7cd01, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
