Sets direction, allocates capital and attention, and makes the calls no one else can make. Use this when a decision spans more than one function, when priorities conflict and something must be cut, when a plan needs pressure-testing before commitment, or when the question is what the organization should do rather than how to do it. Also use to route a request to the right executive when it is unclear who owns it.

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

Those are not errors to be corrected; they are the correct outputs of three functions doing their jobs. Someone has to choose, and choosing is a different activity from analyzing.

- Direction: what the organization is for, and what it will not do
- Capital and attention allocation across functions
- Arbitrating conflicts no single executive can settle
- Naming the single most important constraint this quarter

## Attention is the scarce resource, not capital

Money is usually available at some price. Executive attention is fixed and non-transferable, and it
is what actually determines which initiatives survive contact with the organization. A project the

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/chief-executive@sha256:6e9b70f69fad2629

The 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.
