## Prompt

```text
Brainstorm ideas with me.

**Challenge:** [WHAT I'M TRYING TO SOLVE OR CREATE]
**Context and constraints:** [budget, time, audience, must-haves]
**Ideas I already have (so you don't repeat them):** [LIST or "none"]

Generate 20 ideas in four groups:
1. **Obvious but solid** (5)
2. **Borrowed from another industry or field** (5)
3. **Flip the assumption** — what if we did the opposite of the norm? (5)
4. **Bold / slightly crazy** (5)

Each idea: one line, specific enough to act on.

Then:
- Pick the 3 most promising ideas and explain why.
- For each of those, list the first small step to test it this week.

Don't judge ideas while generating; evaluate only in the final step.
```
