Diverge generates a broad, orthogonal set of design concepts from a user brief, ensuring varied mechanisms and anchored inspiration. It helps teams escape generic dashboards and explore novel directions without premature consensus.
Provide a Brief, then generate 8-10 divergent concepts with anchors and delights, run the kill ledger, and present a final shortlist for prototyping.

To generate divergent design concepts from a user brief, you need a structured ideation process that produces 8-10 orthogonal options. This approach applies a cross-bucket anchor library and a kill ledger to prune weak candidates, ensuring varied mechanisms and anchored inspiration for prototype selection.
A kill ledger in design concept generation is a pruning mechanism that eliminates structurally weak ideas before review. It surfaces only the strongest candidates for prototyping, preventing premature consensus and ensuring rigorous ideation by evaluating constraints and risks upfront.
To prevent generic dashboards during design prototyping, use an anchor-library guided diversity approach. Drawing anchors from games, arts, history, and architecture prevents monocultures and helps teams explore novel directions with distinct mechanisms and clearly defined delight moments.
The best way to structure design ideation for prototype selection is a step-by-step workflow: analyze briefs, break down problems, surface vocabulary, generate concepts, run a kill ledger, compare options, and deepen the final shortlist. This surfaces constraints and risks to support rigorous learning.
Yes, you can use anchor references from non-design fields for concept generation. A cross-bucket anchor library deliberately draws inspiration from across games, arts, history, and architecture to prevent monocultures and ensure generated concepts feature distinct, varied mechanisms.
Design teams converge on similar ideas during ideation due to a lack of orthogonal constraints and diverse references. Applying a kill ledger and cross-bucket anchors forces the generation of 8-10 structurally varied concepts, escaping premature consensus and generic outputs.
