Illustrative example

A decision your team can review

A fictional assessment shows how a proposal becomes a discussion of options, tradeoffs, and next steps.

Proposal: introduce a shared API gateway

A product team wants consistent authentication and request limits across its public APIs.

Options and tradeoffs

Continue per-service controls. Small initial change, with duplicated policy maintenance.
Pilot a shared gateway. Central policy management, with added operational ownership and routing complexity.

Suggested next step

Pilot the gateway with one API. Confirm the service owner, test failure handling and latency, and compare the design with the organization's security standards before a wider rollout.

Team review: validate the evidence, identify remaining risks, and record the approved decision and its rationale.
