For me what’s interesting that card sorts are single tool used in part of a larger design process. Also interesting are the alternative activities esp. the findablity testing. These might be a better fit in situation where IA is constrained by other factors such as dealing with the inevitable politics of ‘my business area must have spot on the homepage’ or the existing IA is heavily entrenched.
