McKinsey Corporate-Center Roles Typology (Operator, Strategist, Portfolio Manager, etc.)
The typology asks how much a corporate center should do to its business units, from a lean holder of financial stakes to an active operator, and sets the center's authority, structure, and resource control to match.

The origin of the framework, as the directory records it. The mark grades the origin, not this page.
Umbrex, McKinsey Corporate-Center Roles Typology (Operator, Strategist, Portfolio Manager, etc.)
The directory entry this score was read from. Umbrex is a consultancy network; its summary is the reference, not a primary source.
Scored against the twelve cells, it loads three: Authority, Structure, and Resources. The other nine it leaves to you. None of Composition, Evidence, or Mastery is among them, which is the usual result in this directory: the questions an agent in the loop raises first are the ones the literature answers least.
This is not a summary of the framework. Umbrex has one; the link under Sources goes there.
Which decisions may an agent make alone, and who is able to stop it?
What is the smallest unit that can own a customer outcome end to end?
What is owned, what is rented, and what is summoned only when needed?
