Criterion	Decision Making Pareto Analysis	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)	Architecture Software Architecture Canvas	Decision Making Eisenhower Matrix
Purposedifferent	In many problem situations, effect is distributed unequally across many causes. A Pareto Analysis separates the few drivers with high leverage from the long remainder and focuses attention on what measurably moves the needle.	ARID examines how well developers can work with a technical design. It focuses on a part of the system that can still be revised, between the architecture overview and the detailed specification.	The Software Architecture Canvas reduces a system to the most important architecture decisions, constraints, and interfaces. It is useful when teams need a resilient overall picture quickly.	It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.
