Selected:Eisenhower Matrix C4 Model Architecture Communication Canvas ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)

Criterion	Decision Making Eisenhower Matrix	Architecture C4 Model	Architecture Architecture Communication Canvas	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)
Purposedifferent	It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.	The C4 Model makes a system legible across several resolution levels, from context down to code. It suits situations where different audiences need to understand the same architecture from different altitudes.	The Architecture Communication Canvas plans architecture communication so the right people receive the right message. The method turns technical complexity into deliberate communication design.	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.
