| Criterion | ![]() Systems Thinking Theory of Constraints Thinking Process | ![]() Product Discovery Test Card |
|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | The Theory of Constraints Thinking Process exposes a system's bottleneck and the logic behind it. It suits situations where many symptoms trace back to the same limiting relationship. | The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success. |
Complexitydifferent | High | Low |
Timedifferent | 0.5-3 Tage | 20-35 min |
Participantsdifferent | 4-10 | 1-5 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop | Workshop + async |
