10.1 Introduction

Decisions preserves why Moonitoring made an important technical or architectural choice, not only what the final choice was. Recording context, alternatives, trade-offs, and consequences allows future team members to evaluate a decision without reconstructing its history from code or conversations.

Use Stories for broader narratives, analyses, and benchmarks surrounding a decision. Use an RFC to propose and discuss a change before agreement, and an ADR to record an accepted architectural decision and its consequences.
