How this maps to your situation

  • When initiating a new architecture proposal
  • Before vendor evaluation begins
  • During compliance threshold setting
  • After leadership approves autonomous decisions

Before vs. after

Before
Architecture decisions require multiple rounds of senior review, slowing delivery and diluting ownership.
After
You make final calls independently, with structured reasoning and artefacts that stand up to scrutiny.
