SYSE.23:4.2 - Record the Result

Record the following content for the stated decision using linked descriptions. Keep architecture, capability, Work, arrangement, contribution, decision, and observation records distinct; each claim keeps its own subject and scope. Include view-specific content only for views used in this decision.

Account contentWhat to record
decision boundaryProject system-of-interest when it already exists, or the intended-system claim when it does not; any System family with its membership and effectivity basis; configurations, expected change family, use, environment, affected Systems, horizon, scale, protected characteristics, resources, DecisionSubject, chooser granularity, authority, and receiving decision.
current claim inventoryClaim kind; identified subject; architecture bearer and selected structure, capability holder and target Work, change-Work occurrence and its result/resource coordinates, or joint-arrangement participants and relations; scale, window, evidence, uncertainty, and unsupported stronger claim.
holonic or membership viewEntityOfConcern; obtaining part–whole or actual-member relations; decision-bearing levels; scale and horizon; simultaneous cross-level characteristic conflicts.
system-of-interest–builder relation viewEntityOfConcern; selected structures of the project system-of-interest and builder arrangement; the direct dependency, correspondence, provider, service, interface, or enabling relations used by this decision; consequence, moved burden, evidence, uncertainty, and unsupported causal claim.
Work viewEntityOfConcern; Work occurrences, performing Agents, enacted Methods, first–then, overlap, recurrence, required order, and separately obtaining assignment and authority.
possible-future specificationsProposed selected structures and mechanisms, expected characteristic changes, required realization and evaluation Work, assumptions, and failure conditions.
alternatives and comparisonIncumbent and materially different changes to the project system-of-interest, builder arrangement, or both; current and candidate configurations; result and resource vectors; guardrails; interactions; uncertainty; reversibility; future-option effects; and displaced burdens.
investment ChoiceResultDecisionSubject and granularity; stable OptionSet; shared comparison basis; ChoiceRule; probe budget, cost, and value when relevant; choose, tie-set, reject, probe, or reroute result; why the ChoiceRule permits this result now; protected losses; budget; implementation request if any; and overturn conditions.
later Work and observationWorkPlan and authorization when they obtain; performed Work, changed structures, representative future-change cases, observations, supported and defeated claims, separately supported contribution claims, consequences for the project system-of-interest and other affected Systems, and receiving feedback.
