| Criterion |  Architecture Risk Storming |  Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs) |  Operations MORT Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | Helps clarify architecture context, options, and consequences in concrete terms. It organizes technical context, alternatives, and consequences. The result is captured as an Annotated Diagram, a Prioritized Risk List, and an Action Backlog. | 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. | For a safety-relevant event or a system with high protection requirements, the method examines where controls failed. It exposes both technical and organizational gaps. |
Complexitydifferent | Low | Medium | High |
Timedifferent | 60-90 min | 2–4 h review as a planning range; preparation and evaluation additional | Mehrere Tage bis Wochen |
Participantsdifferent | 4-12 | Designers, developers as users, and facilitation | 2-6 |

Outputdifferent | Annotated Diagram, Prioritized Risk List, Action Backlog | Prioritized development tasks, Jointly produced code or pseudocode, Observed difficulties and open design questions, Proposed design revisions | MORT Worksheets, Findings per Branch, Corrective Actions, Systemic Recommendations |
