SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Founders often lock onto the first obvious idea without exploring alternatives. This Skill deliberately expands a core opportunity into a wide option set across three altitude tiers before converging on the 1-2 most promising ideas, so the strongest version of an opportunity reaches feasibility testing. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three-Tier Divergence: Generates Grounded (safe, incremental), Spaced-Out (assumption-breaking), and Blue-Sky (ambitious yet actionable) ideas from a single opportunity statement. - Ambition-Tuned Convergence: Filters ideas through a soft Five Characteristics of a Good Opportunity screen and selects picks aligned to the founder's ambition level (conservative, balanced, bold) and hard constraints. - Use Case: A local bakery owner wants to grow revenue without a second storefront. The Skill produces grounded options (extended hours), spaced-out provocations (drone delivery), and blue-sky picks (subscription fresh-loaf program, café wholesale), then converges on two candidates for feasibility analysis. ## Quick Start Use the idea-expansion skill to generate grounded, spaced-out, and blue-sky ideas for growing my business revenue, then converge on the two most promising options.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate more business ideas from a single opportunity?▼

Use divergent ideation across three tiers: grounded ideas that are safe and incremental, spaced-out ideas that deliberately break assumptions, and blue-sky ideas that are ambitious yet actionable. Then converge on the 1-2 most intriguing picks that fit your ambition and constraints.

What is the difference between grounded, spaced-out, and blue-sky ideas?▼

Grounded ideas are safe, obvious, and imitable, establishing a baseline. Spaced-out ideas are deliberately absurd to unlock insights, not meant to ship. Blue-sky ideas are novel and exciting but still realistic, and are the target zone for converged picks.

When should I use idea expansion instead of feasibility analysis?▼

Use idea expansion before validation, when you have one idea and want to see alternatives or a more differentiated angle. Once an idea is chosen and needs validation, switch to opportunity feasibility analysis instead.

Does idea expansion validate that an idea will work?▼

No. Idea expansion only generates and filters options using a lightweight qualitative screen against the Five Characteristics of a Good Opportunity. Every converged pick is explicitly labeled as a candidate, not validated, and is handed to feasibility analysis next.

What happens if fewer than two viable ideas survive convergence?▼

The process re-diverges with a reframed opportunity statement rather than forcing a weak pick. If all surviving ideas are imitable grounded options, it flags differentiation risk and pushes one more blue-sky round.
