1. *context*: functional requirement (user story or use case) or an architecture component,
2. *facing*: non-functional requirement, for instance a desired quality,
3. *we decided for*: decision outcome, arguably the most important part,
4. *and neglected*: alternatives not chosen (not to be forgotten!),
5. *to achieve*: benefits, the full or partial satisfaction of the requirement,
6. *accepting that*: drawbacks, impact on other properties/context and effort/cost.
