SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Researches and compares technologies to support architecture and platform decisions. It structures the research, collects evidence, and delivers ADR-ready decisions with actionable next steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Frame the decision and convert research into a decision-ready output, including an ADR draft and PoC plan.
  • Evaluate 2-4 candidate options using a predefined evaluation framework and source hierarchy.
  • Generate ADR drafts, PoC plans, and tracking artifacts with recommended next steps, risks, and trade-offs.
  • Export evidence-rich reports that leverage primary sources and high-signal references.

Quick Start

Provide a technology evaluation prompt (e.g., "Compare FastAPI vs Spring Boot for a new microservice") to generate a decision pack.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate technologies for architecture and platform decisions?

To evaluate technologies for architecture and platform decisions, you research and compare 2-4 candidate options using a defined evaluation framework and source hierarchy to generate an evidence-based, decision-ready output.

What is an ADR draft and how does it support tech selection?

An ADR draft is an Architecture Decision Record that documents tech selection research outcomes, capturing recommended next steps, risks, and trade-offs to convert technology evaluation evidence into a formal decision-ready artifact.

How do I create a PoC plan after comparing candidate technologies?

You create a PoC plan after comparing candidate technologies by extracting tracking artifacts and actionable next steps from the evaluation framework, structuring proof-of-concept validation tests for the chosen architecture decision.

Can I compare multiple frameworks for a new microservice architecture?

Yes, you can compare multiple frameworks for a new microservice architecture by providing a technology evaluation prompt to assess 2-4 candidate options and generate a comprehensive decision pack with trade-offs.

What is the best way to structure tech selection research evidence?

The best way to structure tech selection research evidence is to apply a predefined source hierarchy and standardized report templates, leveraging primary sources to export evidence-rich reports for architecture decisions.

When do I need a formal decision pack for technology evaluation?

You need a formal decision pack for technology evaluation when supporting product initiatives that require structured architecture and platform decisions, delivering ADR drafts and PoC plans to frame the decision process.
