Purposedifferent
When a usage scenario needs to become understandable early, it condenses situations, context, and flow into a legible sequence. It helps check concept ideas before anything gets built.Helps clarify scope, sequence, and delivery flow in concrete terms. It makes work, boundaries, and order steerable. The result is captured as a RAID Log and a source for status reporting.An ADR permanently records an architecture decision with context, trade-offs, and consequence.
