Decision record DR-001
Conditional platform direction
Use Fabric for the baseline only if discovery confirms:
- 01 · Power BI and Microsoft skills provide the viable support model.
- 02 · SAP extraction meets freshness without unacceptable source load.
- 03 · Concurrent ingestion, BI and AI fit the measured capacity envelope.
Use Databricks only if telemetry, geospatial, model lifecycle or isolation fails an agreed benchmark.
