+## The 17 Force Multipliers (The Governance Stack)
+
+| Layer | Capability | Purpose |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Intake** | FM 1 & 9 | Automated issue triage, labeling, and prioritization. |
+| **Context** | FM 15 | Pre-flight memory injection (briefing) for every agent task. |
+| **Execution** | FM 3 & 7 | Dynamic model routing and fallback portfolios for resilience. |
+| **Verification** | FM 10 | Automated PR quality gate (Proof of Work audit). |
+| **Self-Healing** | FM 11 | Lazarus Heartbeat (automated service resurrection). |
+| **Merging** | FM 14 | Green-Light Auto-Merge for low-risk, verified paths. |
+| **Reporting** | FM 13 & 16 | Velocity tracking and Nexus Bridge (3D health feed). |
