| Criterion |  Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs) |  Operations ABC Analysis |  Architecture Risk Storming |
|---|---|---|---|
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 architecture context, options, and consequences in concrete terms. It organizes technical context, alternatives, and consequences. The result is captured as an Annotated Diagram, a Prioritized Risk List, and an Action Backlog. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Low | Low |
Timedifferent | 2–4 h review as a planning range; preparation and evaluation additional | 30-60 min | 60-90 min |
Participantsdifferent | Designers, developers as users, and facilitation | 1-5 | 4-12 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Async | Workshop |
