Teams often forget why an option was ruled out and re-debate it later. Recording the alternative saves that debate from repeating.
A one-way-door decision (hard to reverse) deserves more scrutiny and stakeholder sign-off than an easily reversible one, so the tool adjusts its recommended rigor accordingly.
Anywhere your team already keeps documentation — a wiki page, a shared doc, or a dedicated decisions log — as long as it's consistently used and searchable later.
