Each technology standard is one row, placed in a category, given a lifecycle status of Adopt, Trial, Hold or Retire, and assigned an owner, so every standard carries an accountable decision rather than drifting.
The status is a verb, not a label: Adopt is the default for new builds, Hold blocks new use without a waiver, and Retire schedules removal. Maps to the TOGAF Technology Standards Catalog (Phase D).
The catalogue holds eight standards; names take 22 characters, category and owner 24.
