# Alternatives Analysis Specification

A decision-matrix-driven decision record: the decision is the output of a weighted comparison of viable alternatives, not an assertion made up front.

The specification comes in two variants. Pick the one that fits the decision:

- **[Software](https://alternatives.jonashw.dev/software.md)** (primary): contextualized to software architecture and engineering decisions.
- **[General](https://alternatives.jonashw.dev/general.md)**: domain-general, for decisions in any field.

Each page is also served as raw Markdown at the `.md` URL linked above, for agents and tools that consume the source directly.
