Why it matters
Most ideas die in a notebook, or in a meeting where the loudest voice wins.
Ideation here starts with observation, not brainstorming, and ends with a decision you can defend.
What you get
A sharp question
What are we really solving, and for whom?
Options, mapped
Laid side by side, including the uncomfortable ones.
Gates before scores
Who is it for, who will commit, does it lean on one person, and why would the tenth time matter more than the first?
A shortlist with reasons
Why this one, and what would change your mind.
A written thesis
The idea, the reasoning and the risks, on paper.
A first small test
The cheapest real way to prove it works.
How it works
- ObserveLook at what people already do before inventing anything.
- WidenGenerate many routes, not just the obvious one.
- GateTest each route against clear questions before scoring.
- Plan the first testTurn the winner into a step you can take this month.
