| Criterion |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Architecture Architecture Communication Canvas |  Agile Example Mapping |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | 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. | The Architecture Communication Canvas plans architecture communication so the right people receive the right message. The method turns technical complexity into deliberate communication design. | When a story carries business rules and exceptions, it brings clarity before implementation. It makes examples, open questions, and boundaries visible enough that the logic becomes jointly sound. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Medium | Low |
Timedifferent | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 60-120 min | 30-60 min |
