Explanation
Financial capacity directly determines how many portfolio components can be initiated and how large they can be, since budget and funding constraints set a hard ceiling on the scope and number of investments the organization can undertake simultaneously. If the money runs out, components must be deferred, reduced, or cancelled regardless of other factors. Knowledge Basis limits types of work (not quantity/size directly), Human Resources limits staffing availability, and Assets refer to physical or technological constraints-but none impose as direct a numerical or size limit on portfolio components as financial capacity does.
