Operational Constraint Register. Give leadership a ranked view of constraints, exposure, owner, evidence, and required decision. Business problem: Constraints remain scattered across meetings and issue logs, so leadership sees symptoms without a comparable decision queue. Claim boundary: Experience-based operating model. It does not establish a client outcome, budget result, recovery result, or universal delivery prescription.
