Criterion	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)	Business Strategy Strategy Map	Product Strategy OKRs	Architecture Architecture Inception Canvas
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.	A Strategy Map translates strategy into a few connected objectives across perspectives such as finance, customers, processes, and learning. This makes visible which capabilities and activities are meant to drive which results.	When strategic direction needs to become measurable, it connects ambition with checkable results. It makes goals connectable to focus and review.	The Architecture Inception Canvas bundles the first architecture questions into a compact decision picture. It fits when an initiative is still in motion but still needs clear guardrails.
