Criterion	Architecture SAAM (Software Architecture Analysis Method)	Product Discovery Test Card	Product Discovery Learning Card	Product Discovery Hypothesis Prioritization Canvas
Purposedifferent	SAAM helps teams judge an architecture’s suitability for selected tasks and changes. It is particularly useful for examining modifiability and comparing architecture alternatives with clear reasoning.	The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success.	The Learning Card connects traceable test results to a reasoned next action while keeping the limits of the insight visible.	When many hypotheses compete for attention, it brings order to their learning sequence and importance. It separates problem, assumption, solution, and evidence. The result is captured as a prioritization canvas and a hypothesis backlog.
