adr-pattern-scope-classification-framework

Decision

Institutionalise pattern-scope-classification-framework as an accepted core architecture pattern following Reference Architecture ratification.

Context

  • Source: governance-flow
  • Pattern: pattern-scope-classification-framework
  • Promotion Recommendation: recommendation-pattern-scope-classification-framework
  • Scope Classification: global
  • Scope Classification Artifact: pattern-scope-classification

Framework and classification taxonomy for assigning pattern reuse scopes (global, domain, project, local) ratified under Reference Architecture in ArchGov.

Scope

Applicability: Global application across continuous architecture steering, pattern discovery, and governance workflows.

Enterprise-wide pattern scope classification framework.

Consequences

Governance

Standardizes taxonomy tiers (global, domain, project, local) across all pattern proposals and promotion evaluations.

Execution

Enforces explicit scope tagging during automated pattern extraction and classification pipeline steps.

System Behaviour

Downstream CAS workflows and portals will index patterns strictly according to their assigned scope classification.

Evidence Summary

Promotion Evidence

Ratified Reference Architecture in ArchGov.

Promotion Criteria

Satisfied governance maturity and ratified reference architecture criteria.

Governance Risks

No critical governance risks identified.
