Yes, you can use ASCII diagram visualization during requirement gathering to map ideas, workflows, and dependencies, which helps clarify complex problem spaces and alternative directions.

What is the best way to surface unknowns and risks during change discussions?▼

The best way to surface unknowns during change discussions is to use a guided analysis process that asks open-ended questions, highlights potential gaps, and maps decisions without committing to implementation.

Does this problem-framing approach work for open-ended ideation or only structured requirements?▼

This problem-framing approach works for open-ended ideation as well as structured requirements, using open-ended questioning to surface multiple directions and assumptions across various stages of analysis.
