Selected:A/B Testing Architecture Communication Canvas ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)Smoke Test

Criterion	Growth A/B Testing	Architecture Architecture Communication Canvas	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)	Product Discovery Smoke Test
Purposedifferent	When two variants compete, discussions quickly decide by taste rather than effect. A/B Testing checks behavior under controlled conditions and separates real improvement from chance or expectation effects.	The Architecture Communication Canvas plans architecture communication so the right people receive the right message. The method turns technical complexity into deliberate communication design.	ARID examines how well developers can work with a technical design. It focuses on a part of the system that can still be revised, between the architecture overview and the detailed specification.	When demand only needs to be roughly verified, it tests interest with minimal effort. It measures whether people would take a next step at all.
