| Criterion |  Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs) |  Decision Making Red Teaming |
|---|---|---|
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. | For strategic decisions with high reach, agreement and gut feeling are often not enough. Red teaming brings deliberate opposition into the situation and tests where a plan breaks under real counterarguments. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | High |
Timedifferent | 2–4 h review as a planning range; preparation and evaluation additional | 1-4 h |
Participantsdifferent | Designers, developers as users, and facilitation | 3-8 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Workshop |
Outputdifferent | Prioritized development tasks, Jointly produced code or pseudocode, Observed difficulties and open design questions, Proposed design revisions | Challenge Findings, Risk Register, Mitigation Plan |
