Criterion	Product Discovery Smoke Test	Architecture Quality Attribute Workshop	Growth A/B Testing	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)
Purposedifferent	When demand only needs to be roughly verified, it tests interest with minimal effort. It measures whether people would take a next step at all.	A Quality Attribute Workshop translates quality requirements into concrete scenarios and architecture impulses. The method brings product, engineering, and operations to the same view of desired properties.	When two variants compete, discussions quickly decide by taste rather than effect. A/B Testing checks behavior under controlled conditions and separates real improvement from chance or expectation effects.	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.
