C.32.PAD:9 - Consequences

Consequence	Benefit	Cost
The architecture decision relation to exact composite project work is explicit before publication.	ADRs, design memos, and governance files can describe a recoverable decision rather than inventing one.	The architect performs decision work before publication work.
Structure and method are coupled without collapsing.	Developers can see both intended architecture structures and required methods.	The decision record needs enough detail to avoid empty method instructions.
Trade-offs and accepted losses are recorded.	Later teams can reopen the decision under changed characteristics instead of guessing the original rationale.	Decisions may look less tidy because loss is visible.
Architect-developer split is stated.	Team refinement can proceed without losing source return.	Architecture governance must maintain split and reopen conditions.
