| Criterion |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Knowledge Modeling Teach-back |
|---|---|---|
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. | Teach-back checks whether an explanation actually got through to the other person. The method makes misunderstandings visible early and strengthens shared understanding in advisory and learning situations. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Low |
Timedifferent | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 5-20 min |
Participantsdifferent | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 2-8 |
Formatsame | Workshop + async | Workshop + async |
Outputdifferent | 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 | Understanding Check, Clarification Notes, Learning Gaps |
