+Design Decision: Near-term solution for Doorman Administration UI
 ============================================
 
 ## Background / Context
 
-Short outline of decision point.
+A decision is required specifically on the doorman UI to be used for the near-term Pilot network, to be launched on Feb 1, 2018. See [main design doc](../design.md) for more context.
 
 ## Options Analysis
 
-### A. <Option summary>
+### A. Existing R3 Atlassian-Hosted JIRA
 
 #### Advantages
 
-1.    ​
-2.    ​
+1.    Incumbent option - no change required
 
 #### Disadvantages
 
-1.    ​
-2.    ​
+1.    Risk to R3 corporate operations exposed by JIRA integration of Doorman
+2.    Potential security challenges (See [main design doc](../design.md))
 
-### B. <Option summary>
+### B. Separate Atlassian-Hosted JIRA
 
 #### Advantages
 
-1. ​
-2. ​
+1. Minimal infrastructure deployment requirement - just buy a new account
+2. HA and DR provided by Atlassian (in principle - no easily enforceable SLAs etc.) 
 
 #### Disadvantages
 
-1. ​
-2. ​
+1. Scalability and performance under large loads unclear 
+2. Flexibility to support long term requirements unclear - may be just a 'stop-gap'
+
+### C. Private JIRA installation
+
+#### Advantages
+
+1. Low/no development effort to change
+2. A single installation with no HA etc. may be relatively cheap - [$10 for 10 users ](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/pricing?tab=self-hosted)
+3. Self-ownership of HA/DR issues may provide greater certainty
+4. Easier to secure (can put behind a firewall with extra authentication etc.)
+
+#### Disadvantages
+
+1. Scalability and performance under large loads unclear - may end up spending c. £12k for a data centre license.
+2. Flexibility to support long term requirements unclear - may be just a 'stop-gap'
+
+### D. Bespoke application
+
+Code a bespoke client UI (e.g. in AngularJS) that administers the doorman via direct calls to the API. 
+
+#### Advantages
+
+1. Starting point for eventual strategic solution that meets precise onboarding process requirements
+2. No flexibility issues
+3. No performance issues (driven off doorman database)
+4. Easier to secure (can put behind a firewall with extra authentication etc.)
+
+#### Disadvantages
+
+1. Extra development effort​
