Why each option
When the business case for architecture is not well recognized, TOGAF recommends creating an Architecture Vision and then a detailed Business Architecture to quickly demonstrate value.
Completing Business Architecture after Information Systems Architecture reverses TOGAF's typical order and is unlikely to improve recognition of the business case; it might even obscure it further.
To address a weak business case for architecture, focusing on an Architecture Vision and then a detailed Business Architecture helps to quickly articulate the business value. This approach demonstrates how architecture can solve business problems, thereby securing stakeholder buy-in with concrete, business-focused deliverables early in the process.
While tailoring the ADM is common, simply cutting down the version without specifically addressing the business value problem may not increase recognition of the architecture's importance.
Tailoring the ADM with another framework for specific deliverables is a general customization, but it doesn't directly solve the issue of a poorly recognized business case as effectively as demonstrating immediate business value.
Tailoring the ADM to reflect relationships with other management processes is good for integration, but it doesn't specifically target the problem of the business case for architecture not being well understood.
