Governs the portfolio of work — intake, prioritization, stage gates, resource contention, and stopping things. Use this to set up intake and prioritization, run a stage gate, decide between competing initiatives, resolve resource contention across projects, or work out why everything is in flight and nothing is finishing.
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.

It is which projects the organization can actually finish, given that finishing is what produces value and starting produces none. ## Intake as a real gate Without a single front door, work enters through relationships and volume, and the portfolio becomes the sum of who asked most persistently. Require the same minimum from every proposal regardless of who is asking: the outcome sought, the evidence it matters, a rough size, the accountable owner, and what will not happen if it proceeds. That last one is the honest part — capacity is fixed, so approving anything is declining something else, whether or not the decline is ever stated. ## Prioritize against capacity, not against merit Ranking by value produces a list where everything above the line is approved and the line is imaginary.

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/portfolio-governance@sha256:e48d6ff022343949The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.e72e404, 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.
