Tech Debt Portfolio Manager
Turn a vague pile of tech-debt complaints into a fundable quarterly paydown plan: a structured debt register, each item priced as ongoing interest vs one-time principal, an ROI-ordered portfolio that fits your engineering capacity, and an exec-readable business case that survives a CFO's questions. Works in any chat model — paste your context, no tools required.
A 4-step agentic workflow pack for coding built to run with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Open the Markdown files, fill the variables, and paste into your model. Most buyers get a reviewable result in about 15 minutes.
- Convert scattered tech-debt gripes into a structured, deduplicated debt register you can rank and fund
- Price every debt item as ongoing interest (the velocity and reliability tax you pay now) vs one-time principal (the cost to fix it), the framing execs actually understand
- Score severity and blast radius on anchored scales so the loudest debt does not out-rank the most expensive debt
- Build a quarterly paydown portfolio that fits a real capacity budget, ordered by ROI and respecting dependencies
- Produce an exec-readable business case that ties debt paydown to velocity, risk, and cost — not to engineer discomfort
- Self-audit the plan against a failure-mode catalog (capacity drift, unmeasurable outcomes, hidden dependencies) before you present it
- Encodes practitioner judgment — pricing formulas, scoring anchors, sequencing logic — that a generic ask does not produce
- Pure-prompt playbook that runs in any chat model with no integrations or connected tools

The workflow inside this pack
4 composable prompts you run in order — each one picks up where the last left off.
- Step 1
Debt Inventory & Taxonomy
Paste your raw debt sources — retro notes, a list of gripes, code-comment or lint exports, incident write-ups — and you get a clean register with each item classified by type (design, code, test, infra, dependency, docs, process) and the location it lives in.
- Step 2
Debt Pricing (Interest vs Principal)
Paste the register — each item gets an interest estimate (the recurring drag: slowed changes, extra on-call, repeated incidents, workarounds) and a principal estimate (the one-time remediation effort), both with the assumptions shown.
- Step 3
Quarterly Paydown Portfolio Builder
Paste the priced register and your capacity budget (engineer-weeks or a percent of the quarter) — you get an ROI-ordered shortlist packed to fit the budget, with each funded item showing its interest saved, principal cost, and why it made the cut.
- Step 4
Exec Business Case & Quality Check
Paste the funded portfolio — you get an exec-ready business case: the funding ask, the interest the org pays today, the expected outcome, the cost of doing nothing, and the measurable signals that will prove it worked.
