SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Idea generation stalls when teams cannot improve existing concepts efficiently. Idea Augmentation provides a disciplined workflow to critique, modify, and enhance ideas using SCAMPER, component-surgery, and other IDEATION SOPs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured augmentation: applies multiple ideation methods to a baseIdea[] and returns augmented variants with justification.
  • Guarded workflow: enforces hard gates that require reviewer critique and at least one improvement per idea.
  • Use Case: a product team has a backlog of concepts and wants stronger variants ready for prioritization or prototyping.

Quick Start

Feed existing ideas and context to generate augmented ideas using SCAMPER, component-surgery, and reviewer2-hat.

FAQPage Schema
How do I improve existing product ideas using structured brainstorming techniques?

To improve existing product ideas through structured brainstorming, you can apply SCAMPER, component-surgery, and reviewer2-hat analysis to generate enhanced variants with documented justification for each modification.

What is the SCAMPER method for idea augmentation?

SCAMPER is a structured ideation method used for idea augmentation, systematically applying actions like substitute, combine, and modify to existing concepts to produce improved variants with documented justification.

How do I ensure every brainstormed concept receives critique and an improvement?

To ensure every brainstormed concept receives critique and an improvement, you can enforce guarded workflow hard-gate rules that require reviewer2-hat analysis and at least one documented enhancement per idea.

Can I apply component-surgery to modify specific parts of an existing concept?

Yes, you can apply component-surgery to modify specific parts of an existing concept, using it alongside SCAMPER and reviewer2-hat analysis to produce augmented variants with documented justification.

What is the best way to augment a backlog of product concepts for prototyping?

The best way to augment a backlog of product concepts for prototyping is to feed existing ideas and context into a structured workflow applying SCAMPER and component-surgery, producing stronger variants ready for prioritization.
