C.31.ASAP:3 - Forces

Force	Tension
Fast architecture choice vs scale evidence	Practitioners often need a scale-aware preference before a full scale study exists.
Reusable structure vs useful exception	Reuse can improve scale behavior, but some bespoke residue is justified by safety, law-domain, mission, or context constraints.
Platform label vs scale mechanism	A platform or product-line name does not say which variability slots, extension rules, exception curve, or refactor trigger makes scale behavior better.
Coarse view vs source distinctions	Coarse-grained architecture descriptions can expose stable structure, but they can also hide lower-scope hazards.
Preference guidance vs selection authority	A scale preference can inform a candidate set or decision, but selection and choice remain with their governing patterns.
Architecture scope vs method BLP	Architecture scale amenability resembles BLP, but C.31.ASAP governs architecture alternatives and selected structures, not general method-family policy.
