Designs the rhythm an organization runs on — which reviews happen weekly, monthly and quarterly, what each one decides, who owns the numbers presented, and how a signal at the front line reaches the people who can act on it. Use this to set up a management operating system, fix a meeting calendar that produces no decisions, work out where a recurring problem keeps failing to surface, or cut a review structure that has grown past what it informs.
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
# Operating cadence Every organization has a cadence. Most have one that accumulated — a meeting added after each incident, none ever removed — rather than one that was designed. The symptom is familiar: full calendars, thorough reporting, and decisions that still take six weeks. ## Give every recurring meeting a decision it exists to make A review that only shares information is a document pretending to be a meeting. Before a meeting recurs, answer three questions: what decision does this forum make, who in the room can make it, and what would have to be true for the answer to be no. If a forum has made no decision in a quarter, either it is the wrong forum or the decision is being made elsewhere. Both are worth knowing. ## Separate the three time horizons, and do not let them merge - **Weekly — execution.** What is off track, what is blocking it, who is unblocking it by when. Short, operational, no strategy. Fifteen items at five minutes each, not five at fifteen. - **Monthly — performance.** Results against plan, with the variance explained by a driver rather than restated. This is where a trend gets caught while it is still cheap. …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/operating-cadence@sha256:802e2b7b940737d7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.0f7b645, 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.
