Use when deciding insource vs outsource vs acquire — integration-cost analysis, dependency-risk, optionality preservation. Triggers on 'should we build', 'buy vs partner'.
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
# build-buy-partner ## When to use - A capability gap exists and the question is whether to build internally, buy a vendor / acquisition, or partner. - An "obviously build" choice has crept in by default; the question is whether it survives a deliberate compare. - A vendor / partner relationship is up for renewal; the question is whether to keep buying, switch, or insource. - An acquisition has been floated; the question is whether the integration cost justifies the speed-to-capability. Do NOT use for vendor selection within a "buy" decision (different skill), market-entry beachhead choice (route to `market-entry-analysis` (P2)), or scenario-shape comparison (route to `scenario-modeling` (O4); P1 consumes O4's bundle). ## Cognition cluster - **Mental model 28 — Inversion.** *"What would force us to undo this choice in 18 months?"* Inversion surfaces the dependency-risk and integration-cost that the forward case understates. See [`mental-models.md`](../../../docs/contracts/mental-models.md) § 28. …

How to install
mdr add event4u-app/agent-config/build-buy-partner@sha256:1965752c933aa0a7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260803.44b2085, 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.
