Ensures projects deliver the value they were approved on — defining measurable benefits, baselining, tracking after delivery, and honest post-implementation review. Use this to define benefits for a business case, set a baseline, track whether value actually landed, or run a post-implementation review that produces something useful.
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.

Legitimate and unverifiable, so treat claims sceptically. - **Non-financial** — risk reduction, compliance, experience. Often the actual reason. Say so rather than manufacturing a financial number nobody believes. The most common failure is a business case padded with non-cashable savings presented as though the …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/benefits-realization@sha256:f11fefd4a986585eThe 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.
