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.	The 5-Minute VC Check clarifies opportunities and strategic options at the earliest idea stage. It compares problem quality, customer willingness to pay, alternatives, differentiation, and market potential, and captures the result as a VC-check note, go/sharpen/park decision, and risk list.	It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.	The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.
