Criterion	Knowledge Modeling Knowledge Mapping	Product Discovery Smoke Test	Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews)	Product Discovery Assumption Mapping
Purposedifferent	Knowledge Mapping makes knowledge, gaps, and transfer paths visible across a field. It fits when expertise should not just exist but also be findable and transferable.	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.	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 assumptions still sit unordered in the room, it weighs uncertainty against leverage. It makes visible which hypotheses should be checked first.
