What changed
Why
MECE complements SSoT by requiring classifications to be both non-overlapping and complete within an explicitly declared scope. The limitations prevent the rule from being applied where graph relationships or multiple independent dimensions are intentional. The MADR link makes the methodology source behind the local ADR template discoverable from the repository overview.
Impact
Downstream projects receive the new principle through the canonical template during their normal Memory Bank update flow. The protected project-local managed copy remains unchanged until a lock-aware update. Repository readers can now reach both the MECE and MADR methodology sources from the root README.
