ARCHITECTURE — Carry an outside need through structure and feedback

  • Situation: A system or another architecture subject must produce an outside result, but its pressure, options, decision, or realized feedback is unclear.
  • Question: What missing architecture result prevents the next useful decision or action?
  • First useful result or blocker: One clear architecture question, candidate comparison, decision, or exact missing fact or constraint.
  • Mantra: Start with the outside change and who relies on it. Name the subject and pressure; separate facts from intended constraints; compare plausible structures; choose what the current decision needs; check what the realized structure produces; reopen when use, evidence, or structure changes.
  • Start with: C.32.P2S, then the pattern for the current question in C.30, C.32, C.32.PAD, or C.30.AD.
  • Stop or return: Stop when the first result makes the architecture work reviewable. The card is not a compulsory lifecycle.
