| Criterion |  Growth Hooked Model |  Architecture ATAM (Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method) |  Product Discovery Test Card |  Growth A/B Testing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | The Hooked Model helps clarify engagement loops, user behavior, and experiments. It makes repeat behavior measurable and captures the result as a hooked loop, trigger map, and reward design. | ATAM helps teams weigh architecture decisions when quality goals compete. The team considers business goals, stakeholder expectations, and technical decisions together. The evaluation shows which risks need further investigation. | The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success. | When two variants compete, discussions quickly decide by taste rather than effect. A/B Testing checks behavior under controlled conditions and separates real improvement from chance or expectation effects. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | High | Low | High |
Timedifferent | Multiple workshops over several weeks | Several meetings plus preparation and analysis; total effort depends on scope | 20-35 min | 1-4 Wochen |
Participantsdifferent | 2-8 | Evaluation team, architects, and relevant stakeholders | 1-5 | 1-6 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Workshop + async | Workshop + async | Async |
Outputdifferent | Hooked loop, Trigger map, Reward design, Ethics check | Prioritized quality scenarios in a utility tree, Architecture risks with reasoning and assumptions, Sensitivity and trade-off points, Findings report with open investigations | Test Card with a pre-set threshold | Experiment results, Decision log, Learning summary |
