arc42

standard

The template of named architecture-documentation sections WAD's twelve views descend from.

arc42 fixes a section list so readers navigate any architecture document blind. WAD keeps that property with its own twelve views, roughly mapping: arc42 §1–2 → Overview; §3 → System context + External systems; §5 → Systems; §7 → Infrastructure + Build & deploy; §8 → Domain + Standards; §9 → ADRs; §10–11 → articles where needed. WAD adds what arc42 leaves informal: typed data, derived diagrams, personas, SOPs, and the spec lifecycle.
