Explanation
Baselines document the current state of the network - performance metrics, traffic volumes, latency, uptime, and configuration norms. When transitioning to a new provider and adopting new technologies, baselines are the most valuable reference because they define what 'normal' looks like, enabling the architect to design the new solution to meet or exceed existing performance standards, and to validate the new implementation post-migration. Low-level designs (A) detail how existing systems are built but don't capture operational performance. Flow diagrams (B) show traffic paths but lack performance context. Runbooks (C) are operational procedures, not architectural reference data.
