10 — Decision System (Planned)

Status: Planned — not yet written. This stub describes what the section will contain so you know what's coming and where to contribute.

What this section will cover

An interactive architecture selector: answer a series of questions about your corpus, query traffic, latency budget, and team, and get a recommended RAG architecture with justification — essentially an executable version of the cheatsheet's decision tree:

• The full decision model (inputs → weights → recommendation) documented and arguable
• Edge cases where two architectures tie, and the tiebreaker reasoning
• "Defend this choice" interview practice: each recommendation comes with the counterarguments an interviewer would raise

Intended format

A documented decision model (markdown) plus a small script/notebook implementing it.

In the meantime

• Static decision tree: cheatsheets/CHEATSHEET.md
• Classification axes behind the decisions: 00_overview/rag_taxonomy.md
