Criterion	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)	Decision Making Assumption Surfacing	Product Discovery Learning Card	Product Discovery Fake Door Test
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.	Plans often contain assumptions that were never openly stated and remain dangerous precisely because of that. Assumption Surfacing makes these silent premises visible and prioritizes which of them carry the initiative or could sink it.	The Learning Card connects traceable test results to a reasoned next action while keeping the limits of the insight visible.	When demand is still unclear, it measures interest in a feature before it is built. It separates real behavior from polite agreement and deliberately keeps build effort small.
