# Create Technical Spike Document

Settle the unknown question before you commit to building

## What this does

There is a decision blocking the work and nobody is sure of the answer yet. This writes a document for a time-boxed investigation: what you need to find out, with a limit on how long you spend finding it. Reach for it when a critical choice has to be settled before anyone starts implementing.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Write up a research question with a time limit on it
- Document a decision you need to make before implementation
- Box in an investigation so it does not sprawl

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Create Technical Spike Document

Some decisions cannot be made from the armchair, and some investigations never end. This creates technical spike documents: research written down with a time box on it, so the digging has a limit.

It is aimed at the critical development decisions that need resolving before implementation begins. Reach for it when work is blocked on a question, and you want the research and its outcome recorded rather than left in a conversation.
