Selected:Architecture Decision Record Concierge MVP Golden Path ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)

Criterion	Architecture Architecture Decision Record	Product Discovery Concierge MVP	Engineering Golden Path	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)
Purposedifferent	An ADR permanently records an architecture decision with context, trade-offs, and consequence. It creates continuity for later changes because the decision path stays traceable.	When an idea can first fail or grow through genuine hands-on support, it relies on manual work instead of automation. It shows whether user value holds up even under manual execution.	When teams need a reliable default path for frequent use, sprawl quickly emerges without any guiding logic. Golden Path bundles the preferred path so good practice becomes easy and deviation becomes deliberate.	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.
