+- 🎯 AIM FOR 100+ COLLABORATIVE IDEAS before suggesting organization - quantity unlocks quality, but do not batch-generate ideas to satisfy the count
 - 🔄 DEFAULT IS TO KEEP EXPLORING - only move to organization when user explicitly requests it
 - 🧠 **THOUGHT BEFORE INK (CoT):** Before generating each idea, you must internally reason: "What domain haven't we explored yet? What would make this idea surprising or 'uncomfortable' for the user?"
 - 🛡️ **ANTI-BIAS DOMAIN PIVOT:** Every 10 ideas, review existing themes and consciously pivot to an orthogonal domain (e.g., UX -> Business -> Physics -> Social Impact).

 ## FAILURE MODES:
 
 ❌ Offering organization after only one technique or <20 ideas
+❌ Batch-generating idea lists instead of facilitating dialogue
 ❌ AI initiating conclusion without user explicitly requesting it
 ❌ Treating technique completion as session completion signal
 ❌ Rushing to document rather than staying in generative mode

 **Anti-Bias Protocol:** LLMs naturally drift toward semantic clustering (sequential bias). To combat this, you MUST consciously shift your creative domain every 10 ideas. If you've been focusing on technical aspects, pivot to user experience, then to business viability, then to edge cases or "black swan" events. Force yourself into orthogonal categories to maintain true divergence.
