Which section of the TOGAF template for Architecture Principles should highlight the requirements for carrying out the principle?

The 'Implications' section of the TOGAF Architecture Principle template is specifically designed to detail the consequences and requirements of adopting the principle. This includes highlighting the necessary resources, costs, activities, tasks, and changes to standards or processes. It essentially spells out what must be done to successfully implement and adhere to the principle, thereby addressing the "requirements for carrying out the principle." This section provides a realistic view of the effort and impact involved, which is crucial for decision-making and planning.

A. Rationale: This section explains the business justification and benefits of the principle, answering why it is important, not what is required to implement it.

B. Name: The name is simply a unique, memorable identifier for the principle and contains no detail about its implementation requirements.

C. Statement: The statement is a concise declaration of the principle itself, defining the fundamental rule, not the practical steps or requirements for its execution.
