Explanation

'Ārahi' means 'to lead', 'guide', or 'method'. It's a more neutral term for a programming method and avoids the cultural weight of 'tikanga'. It also has a clear association with process and direction.

Issue breakdown

specificity While 'tikanga' means method/way, it carries strong cultural connotations of protocol and custom. In a programming context, it might be too broad.
