Purposedifferent | When users immediately turn the wrong way on a screen or wireframe, first click testing checks initial orientation at high speed. The first click shows early whether expectation, labeling, and wayfinding fit together. | 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 method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. |
