Criterion	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)	Delivery Cost of Delay	Architecture Request for Comments	Decision Making Eisenhower Matrix
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.	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.	An RFC clarifies architecture context, options, and consequences. It structures technical context, alternatives, tradeoffs, open questions, and review feedback, and captures the result as an RFC document, reviewer comments, and a decision rationale.	It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.
