| Criterion |  Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs) |  Growth Funnel Analysis |  Architecture Risk Storming |
|---|---|---|---|
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. | When many visitors or users drop off along the way, the reason behind the number often stays hidden. Funnel Analysis exposes these transitions and makes visible exactly where the path collapses. | Helps clarify architecture context, options, and consequences in concrete terms. It organizes technical context, alternatives, and consequences. The result is captured as an Annotated Diagram, a Prioritized Risk List, and an Action Backlog. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Medium | Low |
Timedifferent | 2–4 h review as a planning range; preparation and evaluation additional | 1-3 h | 60-90 min |
Participantsdifferent | Designers, developers as users, and facilitation | 1-5 | 4-12 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Async | Workshop |
Outputdifferent | Prioritized development tasks, Jointly produced code or pseudocode, Observed difficulties and open design questions, Proposed design revisions | Funnel report, Drop-off analysis, Optimization hypotheses | Annotated Diagram, Prioritized Risk List, Action Backlog |
