## When to Use

- You have a vague idea and need to clarify goals, scope, and constraints before committing to a plan.
- You want to generate multiple solution directions for a problem and compare trade-offs.
- You need to break down a complex problem into smaller, actionable parts.
- You’re stuck and need alternative approaches, assumptions to challenge, or fresh angles.
- You want to converge from many ideas into a prioritized shortlist and define next steps.

## Key Features

- Goal and boundary clarification (objectives, constraints, success criteria).
- Structured ideation to produce multiple distinct options.
- Problem decomposition into components, subproblems, and decision points.
