Selected:Risk Storming Incident Command Assumption Mapping ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)

Criterion	Architecture Risk Storming	DevOps Incident Command	Product Discovery Assumption Mapping	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)
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.	During an acute incident with several people involved, the method creates a clear leadership and communication structure. It reduces chaos when fast coordination and clean situational awareness are both needed at once.	When assumptions still sit unordered in the room, it weighs uncertainty against leverage. It makes visible which hypotheses should be checked first.	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.
