# bdr-write
A business or product decision was made. This writes the record **with** the user - they say

discount code, what a launch email says - is a one-line revert even when contestable; it
belongs in `CONTRIBUTING.md` or a product doc, not a BDR. Reserve the record for calls

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

one is not. A decision that serves everyone equally is usually one nobody made. Ask: *who
is this for, and who loses?*
- **What cha
