| Criterion |  Business Strategy Value Chain Analysis |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Product Strategy DIBB |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | Value Chain Analysis shows where value is created, costs accrue, and differentiation becomes possible along the process. It compares strengths, risks, market logic, and courses of action. The result is captured as a value-chain map and lever list. | LASR helps development teams identify where their software falls short of important quality goals and which improvements to consider. A small group with existing system knowledge can make an initial assessment and investigate open questions in more detail. | DIBB helps clarify target groups, value, goals, and priorities by making the logic behind a decision explicit. It captures results as a DIBB document, belief list, bet list, and learning report. |

Timedifferent | Half day | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 1-2 h |
