Decide where to spend limited money and attention across competing opportunities, with a consistent basis for comparison. Use when planning a budget or choosing between investments.
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
# Capital allocation Allocation is the highest-leverage repeated decision in a business, and it is usually made by inertia: last year's budget adjusted. Doing it deliberately means comparing opportunities on the same basis and being willing to stop things. ## Method 1. **Compare on the same basis.** Expected return, time to return, and risk, so a marketing spend and an engineering hire can be weighed against each other rather than debated separately. 2. **Treat sunk costs as irrelevant.** What has been spent should not influence what to spend next, though it reliably does (see decision-journals). 3. **Reserve for optionality.** Committing every pound to current plans leaves nothing for the opportunity that appears, and opportunities do appear. 4. **Fund in stages against milestones.** Tranches released on evidence limit the downside of a wrong allocation and force honest checkpoints. 5. **Name what you are not funding and why.** An allocation decision that never says no has not allocated anything (see prioritization-frameworks). 6. **Distinguish maintenance from growth.** Keeping the business running …

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.
