Evaluate, hire, and manage GTM agencies — outbound, RevOps/Clay, demand gen, design, and dev shops. Agency vs in-house decision framework, pilot structure, scorecards, kill switches, and handoff to internal teams. Use when outsourcing GTM execution, evaluating an outbound agency, or deciding agency vs first hire. Triggers on: "hire agency", "outbound agency", "GTM agency", "Clay agency", "RevOps agency", "agency vs in-house", "outsource GTM", "marketing agency", "dev shop", "manage agency".
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.

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.
