Decision record
What the model protects
The decision record stays tied to its enterprise context.
- Decision context is connected to business outcomes, not isolated system inventories.
- Capabilities and processes are mapped before technology recommendations are made.
- Information quality, ownership, definitions, and lineage are evaluated as decision evidence.
- Governance obligations and accountable review are visible before commitment.
