Criterion	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)	Architecture Architecture Decision Record	Product Discovery Hypothesis Prioritization Canvas	Product Discovery Learning Card
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.	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 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.	The Learning Card connects traceable test results to a reasoned next action while keeping the limits of the insight visible.
