| Criterion |  Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs) |  Operations ABC Analysis |  Delivery Cost of Delay |
|---|---|---|---|
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. | With many similar objects of differing economic significance, the method prioritizes effort by effect. It separates what needs regular steering from what rarely needs attention. | Helps clarify scope, order, and delivery flow in concrete terms. It makes work, constraints, and sequence manageable. The result is captured as a Cost of Delay table and prioritization sequence. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Low | High |
Timedifferent | 2–4 h review as a planning range; preparation and evaluation additional | 30-60 min | 90-180 min |
Participantsdifferent | Designers, developers as users, and facilitation | 1-5 | 3-8 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Async | Workshop |
Outputdifferent | Prioritized development tasks, Jointly produced code or pseudocode, Observed difficulties and open design questions, Proposed design revisions | ABC Classification, Focus Rules, Control List | CoD Table, Prioritization Sequence |
