| Criterion |  Product Discovery Assumption Mapping |  Architecture Request for Comments |  Product Discovery Learning Card |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When assumptions still sit unordered in the room, it weighs uncertainty against leverage. It makes visible which hypotheses should be checked first. | An RFC clarifies architecture context, options, and consequences. It structures technical context, alternatives, tradeoffs, open questions, and review feedback, and captures the result as an RFC document, reviewer comments, and a decision rationale. | The Learning Card connects traceable test results to a reasoned next action while keeping the limits of the insight visible. |
