| Criterion |  Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs) |  Engineering Fault Isolation |  Operations Weekly Review |
|---|---|---|---|
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. | In technical failures, the visible symptom often gets mixed up with the actual cause. Fault Isolation narrows the fault space and progressively reduces which part of the system is truly affected. | In a week with many open loops, the method creates distance from operational noise. It organizes commitments, calendar, and projects so the next week becomes workable. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Medium | Low |
