How the practice works
The markers connect architectural intentions to practical choices about data, access, integration and support. Each principle must explain what a team should do differently. A phrase that can support every possible choice requires further definition before it is placed on another coloured block.
- 01Principle
- 02Practical choice
- 03Evidence
- 04Exception

A platform proposal claims to be cloud-smart and data-led. The review asks where information will reside, how it moves and who maintains it. Those answers give the principles meaning beyond their usefulness as headings.
