How to Use This Prompt

1. Describe your challenge in detail — include what success looks like.
2. Mention what's already been tried so the AI doesn't suggest the obvious.
3. Don't filter ideas during generation — evaluate them separately.
4. For team brainstorming, have each person run this independently, then compare results.
5. The 'impossible' ideas often contain the seed of the best solution — don't dismiss them.
6. Pick the top 3 ideas and ask the AI to develop each into a detailed action plan.
