| Criterion |  Growth Hooked Model |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Growth A/B Testing |  Product Discovery Smoke Test |
|---|---|---|---|---|
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. | LASR helps development teams identify where their software falls short of important quality goals and which improvements to consider. A small group with existing system knowledge can make an initial assessment and investigate open questions in more detail. | 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. | When demand only needs to be roughly verified, it tests interest with minimal effort. It measures whether people would take a next step at all. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Medium | High | Low |
Timedifferent | Multiple workshops over several weeks | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 1-4 Wochen | 1-5 Tage |
Participantsdifferent | 2-8 | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 1-6 | Nutzertraffic |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Workshop + async | Async | Async |
Outputdifferent | Hooked loop, Trigger map, Reward design, Ethics check | Lean Mission Statement describing the software’s purpose, Prioritized quality goals and evaluation criteria, Risks and estimated gaps against quality goals, More closely examined findings and open checks | Experiment results, Decision log, Learning summary | Interest Metrics, Conversion Signal, Learning Note |
