| Criterion |  Knowledge Modeling Feynman Technique |  Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs) |  Product Discovery Learning Card |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | The Feynman Technique checks understanding by explaining a topic so that it stays easy for others to understand. It makes knowledge gaps visible before they become costly in everyday work. | 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. | The Learning Card connects traceable test results to a reasoned next action while keeping the limits of the insight visible. |
Complexitydifferent | Low | Medium | Low |
Timedifferent | 20-60 min | 2–4 h review as a planning range; preparation and evaluation additional | 25-40 min |
Participantsdifferent | 1 | Designers, developers as users, and facilitation | 1-5 |
Formatdifferent | Async | Workshop + async | Workshop + async |
Outputdifferent | Plain-language Explanation, Knowledge Gaps, Study Notes | Prioritized development tasks, Jointly produced code or pseudocode, Observed difficulties and open design questions, Proposed design revisions | Learning Card with evidence and next action |
