ADR Templates: 5 Variations for Different Contexts + Governance Automation

One ADR template does not fit every architectural context. Five purpose-built variations — for standard decisions, agentic AI, cross-domain impact, fast delivery, and high-risk reversals — plus governance automation to make the system run without manual follow-up.

...five-template ADR system called the Contextual Decision Record Stack (CDRS) matched to decision type, plus automation that removes the manual burden of governance follow-up Time to implement: 30–60 days Business...
