Selected:ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)Hypothesis-Driven Troubleshooting MVP Test Matrix Learning Card

Criterion	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)	Engineering Hypothesis-Driven Troubleshooting	Product Discovery MVP Test Matrix	Product Discovery Learning Card
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 systems fail unexpectedly, spontaneous attempts often produce more noise than insight. Hypothesis-driven Troubleshooting translates symptoms into testable assumptions and makes troubleshooting learnable.	When several minimal variants compete to answer the same question, it makes comparing and choosing between them cleaner. It separates problem, assumption, solution, and evidence. The result is captured as a Test Matrix and a Test Plan.	The Learning Card connects traceable test results to a reasoned next action while keeping the limits of the insight visible.
