|---|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When many tasks compete for the same capacity, it orders work by economic impact. It makes time lost, benefit, and effort comparable together. | Helps clarify scope, order, and delivery flow in concrete terms. It makes work, constraints, and sequence manageable. The result is captured as a Cost of Delay table and prioritization sequence. | 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. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. |
Complexitydifferent | High | High | Medium | Low |
Timedifferent | 45-90 min | 90-180 min | 2–4 h review as a planning range; preparation and evaluation additional | 15-30 min |

Formatdifferent | Workshop | Workshop | Workshop + async | Workshop + async |
Outputdifferent | Ranked Backlog, Cost-of-Delay Assumptions | CoD Table, Prioritization Sequence | Prioritized development tasks, Jointly produced code or pseudocode, Observed difficulties and open design questions, Proposed design revisions | Eisenhower Matrix, Action List, Delegation Notes |
