Ideation: Diverse Methods With Rotation

Diversity is a selection problem, not a volume problem.

Generating ten ideas from one mental frame yields ten variations of the same idea. The fix is to ideate from different categories of method, then rotate methods across passes so the next round does not repeat the last. This is the documented lever against LLM mode collapse, not a brainstorming ritual.

When NOT To Use

• Surveying what already exists (use tome:research)
• Cross-domain analogies specifically (use tome:triz)

The one design rule

Structure the reasoning, not the output.
