Criterion	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)	Growth A/B Testing	Product Discovery Test Card	Product Discovery Hypothesis Prioritization Canvas
Purposedifferent	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 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 Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success.	When many hypotheses compete for attention, it brings order to their learning sequence and importance. It separates problem, assumption, solution, and evidence. The result is captured as a prioritization canvas and a hypothesis backlog.
