Why it matters
Shorten repetitive work, keep engineering judgement. RAG and agents need measurable evaluation, not just persuasive demos.
Start a technical decision with business constraints. Establish who will operate the solution, how success will be measured and what happens when it fails.
When to reconsider
Avoid when data rights, evaluation criteria or a safe failure path are unclear.
A practical first step
Choose one representative workflow. Measure the baseline, compare at least two options and record the trade-offs in an ADR. Expand only after validating the result.
