|---|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When capabilities, maturity levels, or market positions need to be compared across several dimensions, overview is easily lost. Radar brings different characteristics into a shared picture and shows patterns faster than tables do. | The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success. | 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 experiments become unreadable after the fact, it arranges hypothesis, signal, and learning goal on a single canvas. It separates problem, assumption, solution, and evidence. The result is captured as a Completed Experiment Canvas and a Success Metric. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Low | Medium | Low |
Timedifferent | 1-2 h | 20-35 min | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 30-60 min |
Participantsdifferent | 2-10 | 1-5 | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 1-5 |
