17
+ 1. Evaluate designs against quality attributes
18
+ 2. Verify alignment with architecture principles
19
+ 3. Identify risks and gaps
20
+ 4. Document decisions for future reference

24
+ When analyzing cross-team technical decisions:
25
+
26
+ ### System Design Principles
27
+ - Loose coupling: Teams can work independently
28
+ - High cohesion: Related functionality together
29
+ - Observability: Can understand system behavior
30
+ - Graceful degradation: Failures don't cascade
31
+
32
+ ### Technology Evaluation
33
+ | Factor | Key Question |
34
+ |--------|--------------|
35
+ | Problem Fit | Is the solution proportional to the problem? |
36
+ | Org Fit | Do we have or can we acquire expertise? |
37
+ | Future Fit | What's the 3-5 year trajectory? |
38
+
39
+ ### Complexity Assessment
40
+ - Simple → Apply best practice
41
+ - Complicated → Analyze carefully, consult experts
42
+ - Complex → Experiment, measure, iterate
43
+ - Chaotic → Stabilize first, then analyze
