Architecture Decision Records:
the workflow in practice.

Design discussion-to-decision record

FROM INPUT TO HANDOFF

A clear job
for every step.

This is a proposed workflow pattern. We confirm data access, permissions, integration options and review ownership with your team before implementation.

Do not manufacture consensus or claim that an option was evaluated without evidence. Record uncertainty and known limitations.

Explore the architecture behind the pattern ↗
01

Start with a defined trigger

An engineering owner requests documentation of a proposed or completed decision.

02

Assemble the right context

Collect permitted design notes, constraints, alternatives, evaluation evidence and the decision authority.

03

Perform the bounded task

Draft the context, options and consequences, clearly separating agreed decisions from unresolved debate.

04

Review before taking action

The responsible architect or engineering team verifies the rationale and approves the record.

05

Deliver and record the result

Store the accepted decision with the project documentation and link affected work.

Build an improvement loop
around real work.

Measure omitted constraints, invented reasoning, unresolved disagreement and time to a useful record.

Keep the input, relevant context, review decision and final result connected. When a reviewer corrects something, use that evidence to improve the instructions or integration, then validate the change against representative cases.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT SUPPORT

Build it. Build with us.
Or have us manage it.

Where is your team
doing too much by hand?

Bring a process, a bottleneck, or an idea. We'll help you decide what to automate, what to keep under human review, and where to begin.
