# RFC: [Title]
 
**Author:** [Name]
**Status:** Draft | In Review | Accepted | Rejected | Superseded
**Created:** YYYY-MM-DD
**Last Updated:** YYYY-MM-DD
**Reviewers:** [Names/Teams]
**Decision Deadline:** YYYY-MM-DD
 
## Summary
[2-3 sentences. What are you proposing and why?]
 
## Motivation
[What problem are we solving? Include data, metrics, user reports.
Why now? What happens if we do nothing?]
 
## Detailed Design
[The core proposal. Architecture diagrams, API contracts,
data models. Enough detail to evaluate feasibility.]
 
## Alternatives Considered
[At least 2 alternatives. For each: brief description,
pros, cons, and why it was not chosen.]
 
## Risks and Mitigations
[What could go wrong? How will you address each risk?]
 
## Rollout Plan
[How will this be deployed? Feature flag? Migration?
What's the rollback plan?]
 
## Open Questions
[Things you don't know yet. Decisions you want input on.]

// ❌ Vague motivation — no data, no urgency
// "Our current caching solution has some issues and we should
//  consider upgrading to something better."
 
// ✅ Data-driven motivation with clear problem statement
// "Our Redis cache hit rate has dropped from 94% to 67% over
//  the past 3 months as our dataset grew from 2M to 8M keys.
//  P99 latency for the /api/products endpoint increased from
//  45ms to 380ms. The current single-node Redis instance uses
//  12GB of its 16GB limit. At current growth rate, we will
//  exceed capacity in 6 weeks.
//
//  Impact: 23% of product page loads now exceed the 500ms SLA.
//  Customer support tickets mentioning 'slow loading' increased
//  40% month-over-month."
