Episode 70 — Document architecture decisions so governance and audit stay aligned (Task 11)

This episode explains how to document AI architecture decisions so governance and audit stay aligned, which AAISM tests by asking what evidence proves controls were intentionally designed, approved, and maintained. You will learn what to capture in an architecture decision record, including the problem statement, assumptions, trade-offs, chosen controls, residual risks, and the approvals that authorize the design. We walk through examples like selecting a vendor model platform, enabling a new integration, or changing a data flow, showing how documentation creates traceability that supports audits and speeds incident investigation. Troubleshooting focuses on documentation that is too vague to verify, missing version history, and decisions that are made informally and later become impossible to defend when something goes wrong.
