Use this skill when the core question is architecture rather than a single report.

## Decision Areas

- Storage: source system, dataflow, lakehouse, warehouse, semantic model, external warehouse.
- Mode: import, DirectQuery, Direct Lake, composite model, live connection.
- Transformation: Power Query, dataflow, SQL, Spark, notebook, warehouse view.
- Governance: workspace layout, deployment pipelines, sensitivity, lineage, endorsement.
- Scale: capacity, refresh windows, concurrency, model size, domain ownership.

## Output Requirements

- Recommend one target architecture and one fallback.
- Explain tradeoffs for latency, cost, skill demand, governance, performance, and operability.
- Include migration path from current state.
