brainstorming-ideas

To turn a product idea into a design document without coding, describe your concept to trigger diagnostic prompts that frame the problem and planned solution. This process outputs a structured design-doc format with premises, recommended approaches, and a concrete next-step action for team alignment.

The best way to validate startup ideas before building is applying Phase 2A startup mode questions. These diagnostic prompts surface demand, analyze the status quo, and identify narrow wedges with objective criteria, guiding your product-focused diagnostics into a structured design document.

To brainstorm and iterate on side project ideas step by step, use Phase 2B builder mode questions for open-ended ideation. This mode facilitates creative ideation and rapid iteration, ultimately guiding your open-source work or learning project to a concrete build step and action item.

Yes, you can use design docs for decision-making in product management. The generated design document includes a premises section and recommended approaches, structuring your team's decision-making process before development begins and ending with a concrete next-step action.

Ideation diagnostic mode works by applying phase-based questions to your initial concept, focusing on problem framing and planned solutions. It separates startup-focused demand validation from open-ended builder ideation, ensuring the final design document guides concrete action items.
