Stratum guide

Version and review architecture

Create deliberate checkpoints, request reviewers, capture decisions, and promote reviewed architecture to live.

Stratum treats architecture as an engineering artifact with an explicit lifecycle, not a drawing that silently changes underneath reviewers.

Version lifecycle

Every saved version begins as Draft. A draft submitted to selected reviewers becomes Pending review. Completed reviews can make it Reviewed, and only a reviewed version can become Live.

Draft→Pending review→Reviewed→Live

Only one version of a design can be live. Changes return the working design to draft so the new decision can be reviewed independently.

Request a review

  1. Open the version to review.
  2. Choose Ready for review.
  3. Select one or more reviewers and include guidance.
  4. Reviewers approve or request changes in a non-editable review surface.

Older versions

Older versions open read-only. Clone a selected version into a new design without copying its history, or delete a version when governance policy permits.
