| Criterion |  Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs) |  Systems Thinking Intervention Mapping |  Systems Thinking Behavior Over Time Graph |
|---|---|---|---|
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. | Intervention Mapping translates a need for change into a planned, evaluable program. The method connects target group, determinants, actions, and measurement into a traceable chain. | A Behavior Over Time Graph shows how a metric or observation develops over time. The method makes trends, breaks, and recurring patterns visible that get lost in snapshots. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | High | Low |
Timedifferent | 2–4 h review as a planning range; preparation and evaluation additional | 1-5 Tage | 20-45 min |
