|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When the value proposition and customer expectation drift apart, it makes fit and mismatch legible. It shows where offering and need don't yet come together. | An ADR permanently records an architecture decision with context, trade-offs, and consequence. It creates continuity for later changes because the decision path stays traceable. | The Blue Ocean Strategy Canvas shows how an offering is positioned relative to the market. Differentiation thereby becomes tangible in value factors instead of merely being claimed. |
