Interactive Decision Aid
Structure an architecture decision before debating the technology.
Frame the question, prioritize the forces that matter, compare up to three viable options, and mark where the evidence is weak.
The score is a conversation aid, not an automatic architecture recommendation. A known hard constraint or serious downside can outweigh the numeric result.
Keep the option set small and real.

Weighted comparison
Add a decision question above so the comparison stays anchored to the actual problem.
Before deciding: remove any option that violates a hard constraint, write the accepted downside in plain language, and record what evidence or future condition would cause reconsideration.
