| Criterion |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Agile WSJF |  Architecture Architecture Communication Canvas |
|---|---|---|---|
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 many tasks compete for the same capacity, it orders work by economic impact. It makes time lost, benefit, and effort comparable together. | The Architecture Communication Canvas plans architecture communication so the right people receive the right message. The method turns technical complexity into deliberate communication design. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | High | Medium |
Timedifferent | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 45-90 min | 60-120 min |
