SYSE.6:4.2 - Record the Result
Record the decision with C.32.PAD. For Systems Engineering use, include the following content in the
decision relation and its cited subjects:
| Result position | Required content |
|---|---|
| bounded decision | Composite project Work, actual engineered System or intended referent, decision subject, use, configuration, operating envelope, horizon, question, and intended receiving decisions. |
| candidate basis | Compatible SYSE.5 alternatives or qualified direct sources; provider-arrangement, affected-System, specialist, realization, configuration, and evidence conditions material to the choice. |
| selected structures | Obtaining structures or possible-future claim content, affected relations, selected option, fixed project-shaping constraints, and open refinements. |
| criteria and evidence | Decision-specific C.32.ACS rows, any C.32.ACE results, comparison or choice result, sources, observations, uncertainty, and limits. |
| trade-offs | Expected gains, accepted losses, unresolved residuals, rejected or retained alternatives, protected characteristics, and affected-System consequences. |
| engineering returns | Named constraints, questions, and result conditions supplied to receiving decisions—for example, realization, integration, configuration, description, specialist, assurance, supporting-System, operation, or maintenance decisions. |
| continuation | Observations and source changes that call for reconsideration, the decision subject and authority for that reconsideration, the supersession condition, and comparison of later actual structures with decision content. |
An ADR-like file or architecture description can publish parts of this result through C.32.ADR and
C.30.AD. Identify its correspondence to the decision relation. Ground the actual architecture and later Work’s
use of the decision independently.
