Criterion	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)	Decision Making Eisenhower Matrix	Architecture Software Architecture Canvas	Facilitation Consensus Workshop
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.	The Software Architecture Canvas reduces a system to the most important architecture decisions, constraints, and interfaces. It is useful when teams need a resilient overall picture quickly.	When a group needs a solid decision without outvoting individual factions, a Consensus Workshop creates a negotiable common ground. It makes agreement, reservations, and open tensions discussable at the same time.
