Criterion	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)	Decision Making Decision Tree	Product Discovery Learning Card	Product Discovery Riskiest Assumption 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.	For decisions with follow-on paths and dependencies, a linear comparison is often not enough. A Decision Tree shows how options branch under conditions and which consequences hang on each branch.	The Learning Card connects traceable test results to a reasoned next action while keeping the limits of the insight visible.	When an idea hinges on one critical unknown, it prioritizes testing that exact piece of uncertainty first. It separates problem, assumption, solution, and evidence. The result is captured as a prioritized list of assumptions, a test plan, and a result report.
