An RFC is a technical document used to propose and facilitate feedback on a design choice. Unlike an [[20251121030429-adr]], an RFC is often used as part of the decision making process, as oppose to a record of a decision.
Typically they offer multiple proposed solutions and a recommendation. Looking at the pros and cons of each.
Note that in some cases these do act as a decision record. e.g. the HTTP headers structure is defined by an RFC.
