Criterion	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)	Agile Sprint Retrospective	Operations After-Action Review	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 a sprint is over and friction shouldn't simply be carried forward, it opens the view onto collaboration and patterns. It creates space to see causes and changes together.	After missions or project phases with unclear outcomes, the method makes visible what actually happened and what can be learned from it. It separates course, effect, and causes so experience turns into solid improvement.	The Learning Card connects traceable test results to a reasoned next action while keeping the limits of the insight visible.
