Selected:Hypothesis-Driven Troubleshooting Software Architecture Canvas Decision Rights Mapping Request for Comments

Criterion	Engineering Hypothesis-Driven Troubleshooting	Architecture Software Architecture Canvas	Decision Making Decision Rights Mapping	Architecture Request for Comments
Purposedifferent	When systems fail unexpectedly, spontaneous attempts often produce more noise than insight. Hypothesis-driven Troubleshooting translates symptoms into testable assumptions and makes troubleshooting learnable.	The Software Architecture Canvas reduces a system to the most important architecture decisions, constraints, and interfaces. It is useful when teams need a resilient overall picture quickly.	In organizations with many stakeholders, it often blurs who actually decides and who is merely consulted. It separates options, evaluation criteria, and open risks. The result is captured as a Decision Rights matrix and an agreement.	An RFC clarifies architecture context, options, and consequences. It structures technical context, alternatives, tradeoffs, open questions, and review feedback, and captures the result as an RFC document, reviewer comments, and a decision rationale.
