  ## Best Practices
675
254
 
676
- ### Do's
677
-
678
- - Apply ALL 7 modes systematically
679
- - Document insights from each mode
680
- - Look for 10x opportunities, not 10% tweaks
681
- - Synthesize across modes
682
- - Challenge assumptions explicitly
683
- - Consider unintended consequences
684
- - Map systems and feedback loops
685
- - Think across time horizons
686
- - Generate many possibilities
687
- - Seek first principles truths
688
-
689
- ### Don'ts
690
-
691
- - Don't stop at surface level
692
- - Don't use only one thinking mode
693
- - Don't accept first solution
694
- - Don't ignore temporal effects
695
- - Don't miss systemic connections
696
- - Don't limit possibilities too early
697
- - Don't forget to zoom out
698
- - Don't forget to zoom in
699
- - Don't skip the inversion check
700
- - Don't rush the analysis
