benefits-realization skillA

benefits-realization is agent-read markdown (skill) from cbrock84/headcount: 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..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

closes — usually the operational owner, not the project manager, who has moved on.

Distinguish honestly:

- **Cashable** — the budget actually reduces. Someone can point at the line.
- **Non-cashable** — time is released. Real, but only becomes value if that time is redeployed to

- **Cost avoidance** — a future cost does not occur. 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
