Selected:Eisenhower Matrix 5-Minuten VC-Check Assumption Mapping ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)

Criterion	Decision Making Eisenhower Matrix	Business Strategy 5-Minuten VC-Check	Product Discovery Assumption Mapping	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 5-Minute VC Check clarifies opportunities and strategic options at the earliest idea stage. It compares problem quality, customer willingness to pay, alternatives, differentiation, and market potential, and captures the result as a VC-check note, go/sharpen/park decision, and risk list.	When assumptions still sit unordered in the room, it weighs uncertainty against leverage. It makes visible which hypotheses should be checked first.	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.
