|---|---|---|---|---|
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. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. | When ideas need sorting quickly, it condenses impact, confidence, and effort into one compact score. It connects customer value, product logic, and decision priorities. The result is captured as an ICE table and top-ideas list. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. |
