Criterion	Architecture Software Architecture Canvas	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)	Product Discovery Smoke Test	Architecture Risk Storming
Purposedifferent	The Software Architecture Canvas reduces a system to the most important architecture decisions, constraints, and interfaces. It is useful when teams need a resilient overall picture quickly.	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.	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.	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.
