Minimum Viable Architecture / Future Scalability
Kind: tension
Record: tension:future-scalability-minimum-viable-architecture
Canonical: Schema
"minimum-viable-architecture" (evolution-principles layer) is traded against "Future Scalability" (evolution-principles layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Future Scalability" and choosing an explicit operating point.
