What component of the Architecture Repository represents architecture requirements agreed with the Architecture Board?

Architecture requirements that have been formally agreed upon, typically through review by the Architecture Board, are captured in the Architecture Requirements Specification. This deliverable is managed throughout the ADM lifecycle via the Requirements Management process. The collection of these managed requirements functions as a logical repository. While not explicitly named as a top-level component in the Architecture Repository structure diagram, this managed set of requirements is a fundamental output stored within it, often as part of the Architecture Landscape for a specific iteration.

B. Reference Library: This component stores reference materials, guidelines, and patterns, not the active, agreed-upon requirements for a specific architecture development effort.
C. Architecture Capability: This defines the organization's ability to conduct architecture work (e.g., processes, roles, tools), not the requirements for a specific architecture.
D. Governance Log: This records governance decisions, compliance assessments, and dispensations, rather than the requirements themselves.
