   🧠 ENHANCED THINKING REQUIRED: Use the SequentialThinking tool to work through this systematically.

   Create deliberate provocations: 'What if we had zero budget?', 'What if this problem didn't exist?', 'What if we did the exact opposite?', 'What if we had unlimited resources?', 'What if we started from scratch?'. Make statements that challenge fundamental assumptions.

3. 3.

   Extract Movement - Find useful directions

   Extract useful concepts, directions, or insights from the provocative statements

   🧠 ENHANCED THINKING REQUIRED: Use the SequentialThinking tool to work through this systematically.

   Extract movement from the provocations: What useful concepts emerge? What new directions become visible? Even if the provocation is impossible, what aspects could be adapted? What principles or approaches does it suggest?
