- In short
- The tightest-constraint decision rule identifies which of the five deciding factors, predictability, error cost, observability, latency, cost, is least tolerant of the wrong choice for a given problem, and lets that factor pick the pattern. Very high error cost, for example, can rule out an open-ended agent regardless of the other four factors. A pattern recommendation without a named binding constraint is not a defensible architecture decision.
