Purpose

Generate three distinct architecture options with comprehensive trade-offs analysis to help users make informed decisions about system modernization or design. Each option represents a different investment level (minimal, moderate, full) with detailed cost, timeline, risk, and quality analysis.

Core Principles:

• Present 3 viable options (not 1 perfect solution)
• Honest trade-offs analysis (no "best" option without context)
• Evidence-based estimates (cost, timeline, risk)
• Clear recommendation with justification
• Actionable next steps for chosen option

Prerequisites

• Understanding of current system (if brownfield)
• Clear new requirements or goals
• User constraints known (timeline, budget, team)
• workspace/ directory exists for output storage
