NFRs that gate a review
Requirements are evaluated per component and per page, with a status for each: pass, fail, or missing the attribute needed to judge. Critical failures count against the approval gate, so a model cannot be submitted for review while a critical requirement is unmet.
Technical debt, made visible
The tech debt report surfaces where the architecture has accumulated compromise, so debt is a reviewable list rather than folklore held by whoever has been there longest.
Viewpoints, platform lens and principles
Different stakeholders need different readings of the same model. Viewpoints render the architecture for a specific audience, the platform lens shows the infrastructure reading of it, and principle compliance checks the design against the architecture principles your organisation has adopted. Overlays and risk suggestions annotate the canvas without altering the model underneath.

Questions
Do failing NFRs block approval?
Critical-severity failures do. They are counted separately and prevent submission for review.
What is a viewpoint?
A rendering of the same architecture for a particular audience, so one model serves several conversations instead of being redrawn per stakeholder.
Where do risks come from?
They can be entered directly, or suggested from the diagram and then accepted or rejected by you.
