Generate useful, differentiated ideas
Search for different mechanisms, not different names for one mechanism. Retain analogy transfer, contradiction solving, diverse viewpoints, and critique-and-repair. Scale the process to the request: a few names do not require a full product strategy, and a single requested recommendation does not require a portfolio in the answer.
Establish the opportunity
Use the supplied goal, audience, constraints, assets, and existing concept. State important assumptions and resolve consequential gaps from available evidence. Do not reopen an agreed product brief merely because naming or a small creative task could be expanded into a bigger exercise.
Identify the real user job and tensions: for example, more control with less attention, or more confidence with less data disclosure. Keep known technical, legal, budget, and safety constraints visible from the start. Ideation is not a reason to postpone a feasibility fact that already rules out an approach.
