+# Use Markdown Architectural Decision Records (MADR)
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+We want to record architectural decisions made in this project.
+Which format and structure should these records follow?
+
+## Considered Options
+
+* [Markdown Architectural Decisions Record (MADR)](https://adr.github.io/madr/)
+* Gitlab issues
+* Formless – No conventions for file format and structure
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Chosen option: "Markdown Architectural Decisions Record (MADR)", because
+
+* Markdown is an easy to write textual format requiring no tooling to be easily human readable
+* Markdown is widely supported and is auto-rendered by all git hosting platforms considered
+* Can be easily stored alongside the actual code and documentation since plain-text files play well with git
+* Is not bound to a single hosting platform like Gitlab issues would be
+* Gives a very sensible default template and format for us to use
