We will have multiple candidate architectures for each scenario and based on which underlying product is the best fit, go down the path of explaining that specific solution.

So how do we determine the best fit? As we evaluate each candidate architecture, we'll be considering the preceding questions and determining if the product that underlies our solution meets the majority of the criteria for the use case. Using the next representation, we'll grade each candidate architecture in the four major decision framework categories. ...
