Selected:Strategy Execution Loop ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)Golden Path Eat the Frog

Criterion	Business Strategy Strategy Execution Loop	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)	Engineering Golden Path	Operations Eat the Frog
Purposedifferent	The Strategy Execution Loop helps avoid treating strategy as a one-off document. It makes visible how strategic decisions are turned into objectives, initiatives, operational work, measurement, and learning.	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 teams need a reliable default path for frequent use, sprawl quickly emerges without any guiding logic. Golden Path bundles the preferred path so good practice becomes easy and deviation becomes deliberate.	The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.
