ATAM
The Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (ATAM) is a systematic technique developed by Kazman et al. at CMU/SEI for evaluating software architectures against quality attributes (performance, security, modifiability). ATAM uncovers architectural risks and tradeoffs early, helping teams assess whether designs meet quality goals before implementation.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
