What stays connected
- ADR and source research
- Incident evidence and operational response
- Architecture guarantee and implementation change
ADRs · incidents · architecture rationale
Decision memory for the systems you have to explain.
Connect architecture decisions, incidents, constraints, research, and implementation evidence so your team can recover why the system changed.
Strata keeps the decision, alternatives, evidence, owner, rationale, review date, and supersession history together—while the final record remains human-reviewed.
From evidence to durable rationale
An ADR should remember more than the outcome.
Capture the evidence surrounding a choice, confirm the decision in Strata, and reopen review when incidents or implementation changes challenge what was known.
Collect the evidence
Link spikes, requirements, pull requests, meeting notes, and incident timelines to the system they describe.
Preserve the tradeoffs
Record alternatives, tensions, constraints, and the evidence that made one path supportable.
Review without erasing history
Reaffirm or supersede a decision while retaining the reasoning and evidence available at each point in time.
The practical boundary
One chain of engineering context
What remains human-owned
- The accepted decision and rationale
- The review or supersession verdict
- Any consequential follow-up proposed in Forge
Phasoric can assemble evidence and propose a decision record. Your team confirms the durable decision.
Questions worth asking
Understand the tradeoff before you commit.
Does Strata replace ADR files?
No. Strata can preserve a structured decision and its lineage alongside portable engineering notes and ADRs. The goal is to keep the rationale retrievable, not force one documentation format.
How does incident knowledge affect architecture decisions?
Incident evidence can be linked to the constraint or decision it challenges. That makes changed assumptions visible and gives reviewers the source context needed to reaffirm or supersede the decision.
Can AI make an engineering decision automatically?
Phasoric can retrieve evidence, summarize tensions, and draft a candidate. The accepted decision remains human-reviewed, and supported external actions stay behind Forge approval.
Make the next review faster
Start with one ADR, incident, or architectural guarantee.
Build a source-backed engineering memory that helps the next person recover the why instead of repeating the investigation.
