bdr-writelisted

Use when a product or business call gets made - "we're charging per seat, not per user", "we're not supporting self-hosting", "this launches to the agency segment first", "we decided to drop the free tier". Drafts the record from what you say plus the product frame and discovery notes, then asks what neither can answer.

Then ask who would overrule it. **A product owner means BDR; an architect means ADR** and `adr-write` is the skill. If both would, the BDR is the parent and the ADR references it - "we charge per seat" is the decision, "we model seats in the licences table" is its technical consequence, and conflating them is how a pricing change later reads as a schema change. Say which way you routed, in one line. ## What a BDR wants - and why the questions differ from an ADR's An ADR asks about forces and options. A business decision has those too, but the parts that decide whether it was a good one are different, and asking an ADR's questions produces a BDR that reads like an ADR with the wrong nouns. - **Who it serves - by name from `docs/personas.md`.** Which persona is better off, and which one is not. A decision that serves everyone equally is usually one nobody made. Ask: *who is this for, and who loses?* - **What cha
