| Criterion |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Decision Making Decision Framing Workshop |
|---|---|---|
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. | When a decision is poorly framed, even good answers deliver little value. A Decision Framing Workshop sharpens the problem, goal, and boundaries before the actual weighing begins. |
Complexitysame | Medium | Medium |
Timedifferent | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 60-120 min |
