<!-- THIS FILE IS A PROJECTION, NOT CANONICAL. Projected from the neutral harness baseline by the GT-KB projection engine. Do not edit here: change the baseline (.harness-baseline-configuration) and re-project with `gt harness project goose`. If a needed change cannot be made through the baseline and re-projection, file a work item against the projector (GOV-HARNESS-NEUTRAL-BASELINE-001 obligation 6). -->

Alternatives Investigation

Investigate distinct solution paths and recommend the best option under the real project constraints.

Default Deliverable

Use .harness-baseline-configuration/rules/template-decision-memo.md.

Required Comparison Dimensions

Check each option for:

1. implementability now
2. dependency or approval requirements
3. reversibility
4. migration cost
5. operational burden
6. failure mode
7. evidence quality

Output Rules

• Compare only materially distinct options.
• Reject fake options that are not actually available in the current environment.
• Name the minimum-regret recommendation, not just the most ambitious one.
• If the evidence is thin, say so and identify the next discriminating check.
