Architecture paths have diverged
Multiple credible approaches exist, but teams are comparing them against different assumptions.
Services / Technical strategy
Make the next technical choice defensible.
Frame architecture choices, platform boundaries, and build-versus-buy questions against the constraints your team must actually operate.

Decision record
Options, conditions, and consequences remain visible.
The recommendation records why a path fits now, what would invalidate it, and who owns the next review.

OUTPUTTransition plan
This is useful when
The cost of ambiguity has become visible.
The service is designed for consequential choices, not routine implementation decisions that the team already knows how to make.
Build or buy keeps reopening
Ownership, transition cost, and strategic option value are not represented in the decision.
A platform boundary is unclear
Product responsibilities and system ownership are creating parallel roadmaps.
Typical outputs
Artifacts the team can continue using.
Final outputs depend on the scoped decision and the evidence available during the engagement.
Decision framing
A shared definition of the choice, constraints, assumptions, and decision owner.
Target architecture
System boundaries, transition stages, dependencies, and meaningful alternatives.
Risk and ownership map
Named responsibilities, unresolved risks, review triggers, and reversal conditions.
Engagement process
From system context to an owned transition.
The process prioritizes fast shared understanding, explicit comparison, and a handover that survives the engagement.
Context and constraints
Review system behavior, delivery signals, stakeholders, prior decisions, and operating conditions.
Option model
Compare paths using the same criteria, including reversibility, transition cost, and organizational fit.
Decision and transition
Record the recommendation, stages, owners, dependencies, and triggers that should reopen it.
