Structure Brand as one page per topic, each with its status
Context and Problem Statement
Only Branding/brand-architecture.md is settled. Everything else in the 0.2
brandbook draft, the earlier decision records, the palette CSV, the source
artwork and what each site invented is input to be re-reasoned. How does Brand
show what is decided, what is open, and what the other sites can build on?
Decision Outcome
Brand is a map of topics in five sections: Foundations, Identity, Digital system, Applications and Delivery, plus this decision log. Each topic is one page that does three things:
- Decide: the question, what is settled, what has to be re-reasoned, the evidence to audit, and the status (open, proposed, ratified).
- Specify: rules someone can follow without asking.
- Deliver: the files and data others use, built from the same source as the page.
Each topic is one data file in src/content/topics/; pages are generated from
it. Decision records are rendered from docs/decisions/ in place.
Consequences
- Good, because anyone can see at once what they can build on and what is still open.
- Good, because the page and the files it delivers cannot disagree.
