Criterion	UX Research First-click Testing	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)	Product Discovery Experiment Canvas	Product Discovery Test Card
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.	When experiments become unreadable after the fact, it arranges hypothesis, signal, and learning goal on a single canvas. It separates problem, assumption, solution, and evidence. The result is captured as a Completed Experiment Canvas and a Success Metric.	The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success.
