ISO 42010–inspired (architecture description record)

This is not “ISO 42010 as an ADR format.” It is a decision record that uses 42010 vocabulary: stakeholders, concerns, and views, so a decision is traceable to the architecture description.

Use it when a decision is inseparable from who is affected, which quality concerns drive it, and which view (e.g. deployment, security) must change. For background, read ISO / IEEE 42010 and decisions.
