Definition
An architecture decision map lays out the key technical choices in a deal, the options for each, and their cost, timeline, and lock-in trade-offs.
It surfaces the decisions a vendor would rather make for you — data residency, integration pattern, environment strategy — and ranks them by lock-in risk, with an engineer's dissent on the vendor's recommended approach.
