bad-on-purpose

What problem does it solve?

Breaks through creative blocks by generating intentionally terrible ideas and then mining the hidden value inside them to reveal actionable directions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Phase 1: Be Terrible — Generate 5-7 genuinely bad ideas to identify constraints and overlooked assumptions.
• Phase 2: Mine the Wreckage — Analyze each idea to extract the rule it violates, find a 5% viable version, and name the directional "door" it opens.
• Useful for warm-ups before other ideation skills, to unlock nonconformist thinking in individual or collaborative sessions, or to reframe problems when teams feel stuck in safe, conventional output.
• Provides a structured format to turn raw bad ideas into forward-moving insights for design, strategy, or research.
