| Criterion | ![]() Knowledge Modeling Feynman Technique | ![]() Architecture Request for Comments |
|---|---|---|
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. | 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. |
Complexitydifferent | Low | Medium |
Timedifferent | 20-60 min | 1-3 Wochen vom Draft bis zur Entscheidung |
