Architecture Workspace

System context, components, evidence flow, quality strategy, AI controls, ADRs.

ES-104 Project Repository Architecture

Current Architecture Workspace

Purpose

Define the system structure, trust boundaries, quality strategy, evidence flow, AI-control approach, and architecture decisions before detailed design.

This directory should contain the project’s actual working artifacts for this lifecycle area. The links below intentionally point to the Template Library and, where available, the completed LMU/COICP example. Create the real project files in this directory when the project is ready to populate them.

What belongs here

Artifact Project File Name Template Completed Example
Architecture Overview architecture_overview.md Template Completed example
System Context system_context.md Template Completed example
Component Model component_model.md Template Completed example
Data And Evidence Flow data_and_evidence_flow.md Template Completed example
Quality Attribute Strategy quality_attribute_strategy.md Template Completed example
Ai Control Architecture ai_control_architecture.md Template Completed example
Architecture Decision Records architecture_decision_records.md Template Completed example
Architecture Review architecture_review.md Template Completed example
Architecture Readiness Summary architecture_readiness_summary.md Template Completed example

Start from templates

Working pattern

  1. Open the relevant template.
  2. Create the same-named file in docs/project-workspace/architecture/.
  3. Replace template guidance with project-specific evidence.
  4. Compare the result with the LMU/COICP example when available.
  5. Record open risks, assumptions, and unresolved questions.
  6. Finish with the review or readiness artifact for this stage.

Evidence quality bar

Quality What It Means
Specific Names actual project facts, stakeholders, systems, scenarios, risks, and decisions.
Traceable Connects back to earlier stages and forward to later stages.
Reviewable Gives another reviewer enough evidence to challenge or approve the work.
Current Reflects the project’s actual state rather than old intent.
Governable Makes AI use, exceptions, risks, release posture, and limitations visible.
Workspace Rule

Create project artifacts here. Learn the artifact structure from the Template Library. Learn the completed pattern from the LMU/COICP example.

Continue to Design

Move forward when this stage has enough project evidence and a clear readiness decision.
