Frame the decision

architecture decision

A decision context containing users outcomes constraints risks and evidence gaps.

Acceptance criteria

  • The desired outcome is measurable independently of a model
  • Constraints and failure costs are explicit

Use: context · drivers · decision · alternatives · consequences · risks · validation · rollback · evidence

Compare alternatives

architecture decision

A comparison of at least three viable approaches including the simplest non-AI option.

Acceptance criteria

  • Alternatives use the same decision criteria
  • Evidence and assumptions are distinguishable

Use: context · drivers · decision · alternatives · consequences · risks · validation · rollback · evidence

Record the decision

operations

A concise ADR with consequences validation plan review trigger and rollback condition.

Acceptance criteria

  • The decision names reversible and irreversible consequences
  • A future reviewer can identify when to reopen it

Use: context · drivers · decision · alternatives · consequences · risks · validation · rollback · evidence
