Temperature 0 Research Framework for Architectural Decision Records

Conduct a formal architectural decision analysis using the following parameters:

- Topic: [INSERT DECISION TOPIC]
- Domain: [INSERT DOMAIN CONTEXT]
- Evaluation Criteria: [E.G., COST, LATENCY, SECURITY, MAINTAINABILITY]
- Candidate Technologies: [LIST ALL OPTIONS]
- Governance Requirements: [LIST RELEVANT POLICIES OR STANDARDS]
- Timeline Expectation: [SHORT-TERM, MULTI-YEAR, ETC.]

Instructions:
1. Identify and describe all relevant technologies or architecture patterns.
2. For each candidate, provide:
   - Core capabilities and known constraints
   - Adoption profile and support ecosystem
   - Release cadence and maintenance health
   - Integration complexity and interoperability barriers
   - Security architecture and compliance posture
3. Build a structured comparison matrix against the defined criteria.
4. Reference any similar ADRs, RFCs, or vendor-neutral benchmarks.
5. Summarize with neutral, fact-based observations suitable for direct use in a Temperature 0 ADR.

Response Format Requirements:
- Maintain strict objectivity with no speculative or subjective statements
- Ground all conclusions in standards-compliant references or benchmark data
- Use declarative language aligned with ADR conventions
- Ensure output is immediately reusable in an enterprise ADR record
