Technical Design - picks one variant per problem area from the research catalogue, then produces architecture diagrams, interfaces, and data flow. Decisions live here, not in research.
Gate 4: API contracts document - defines component interfaces and data contracts before protocol/technology selection. Large Track only.
Gate 3: Technical architecture document - defines HOW/WHERE with technology-agnostic patterns before concrete implementation choices.
Gate 5: Data structures document - defines entities, relationships, and ownership before database technology selection. Large Track only.
