| Criterion |  Business Strategy Strategy Execution Loop |  Architecture ATAM (Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method) |  Growth A/B Testing |  Product Discovery Learning Card |
|---|---|---|---|---|
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. | ATAM helps teams weigh architecture decisions when quality goals compete. The team considers business goals, stakeholder expectations, and technical decisions together. The evaluation shows which risks need further investigation. | 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. | The Learning Card connects traceable test results to a reasoned next action while keeping the limits of the insight visible. |
Complexitydifferent | High | High | High | Low |
Timedifferent | Initial 3-6 h, then monthly or quarterly reviews | Several meetings plus preparation and analysis; total effort depends on scope | 1-4 Wochen | 25-40 min |
