Brainstorm and Rank Ideas

Generate a high-volume idea list spanning safe to contrarian, then score everything on impact and effort to surface the real winners.

Brainstorm solutions for: [THE PROBLEM OR GOAL, STATED SPECIFICALLY]

Context:
- Constraints that are real: [BUDGET, TIME, TEAM, TECH: whatever actually limits you]
- What we've already tried or ruled out: [LIST, or "nothing yet"]
- What success looks like in 90 days: [MEASURABLE OUTCOME]

Step 1: Generate 20 ideas. Requirements:
- Ideas 1-8: solid, proven approaches for this kind of problem.
- Ideas 9-14: adaptations, approaches from OTHER industries or domains applied to mine (name the domain each comes from).
- Ideas 15-20: contrarian or uncomfortable, including at least one "do less/stop doing something" idea and one "change the goal instead" idea.
- One line each. No idea repeated in different words. Don't pad, if two ideas are 80% the same, merge them and keep counting.

Step 2: Score every idea: Impact (1-5, on the 90-day success measure), Effort (1-5, given my constraints), Confidence (1-5, how sure you are the impact estimate is right; score low for ideas with many assumptions).

Step 3: Rank the top 5 by impact-to-effort, adjusted for confidence. For each: why it ranks here, the first concrete step to test it cheaply within a week, and the main way it fails.

Rules: respect the stated constraints in scoring, a great idea I can't afford scores low on effort-adjusted rank, but keep it on the list labeled "if constraints change". Don't flatter the obvious answer; if idea #1 is what everyone would say, the ranking must beat it or explain why it stands.
