idea-refine

To structure brainstorming into actionable concepts, use a divergent and convergent thinking workflow. This process evaluates early-stage ideas through distinct phases, applying specific frameworks and rubrics to refine raw thoughts into a sharp, concrete one-page artifact.

The best way to evaluate early-stage product ideas is by applying structured refinement criteria against the concept. Using predefined design-thinking rubrics helps systematically assess and converge raw ideas, ensuring strategic initiatives meet problem-solving objectives before moving forward.

Run a structured ideation workshop by guiding participants through three phases: Understand & Expand, Evaluate & Converge, and Sharpen & Ship. This workflow transforms raw strategic initiatives into actionable concepts, culminating in a concrete markdown one-pager to document the final idea.

Yes, you can use product-management frameworks to generate a concrete artifact. The ideation workflow applies structured evaluation rubrics to raw ideas and outputs a markdown one-pager located in the docs directory, providing a ready-to-ship document for product development.

Idea refinement requires frontmatter metadata defining the name and description to initialize the session. The process leverages the idea-refine script along with included framework and refinement-criteria reference files to drive the structured evaluation and artifact generation.
