|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When strategic direction needs to become measurable, it connects ambition with checkable results. It makes goals connectable to focus and review. | The Architecture Inception Canvas bundles the first architecture questions into a compact decision picture. It fits when an initiative is still in motion but still needs clear guardrails. | An ADR permanently records an architecture decision with context, trade-offs, and consequence. It creates continuity for later changes because the decision path stays traceable. |
