Sign in, start your first progression, and understand what each stage is asking you for.
What each tool in the progression is doing, what it's good at, and how to recognize when it's not working.
Five questions about what you already know — written down before any AI tool runs against this idea. Externalizes Unknown Knowns so AI verifies and enhances rather than generating.
Five d.school moves (Focus, Feel, Challenge, Borrow, Flip) — you write each one; AI offers alternative angles only on demand.
Run N parallel LLM calls with rotating facilitator personas to produce divergent idea candidates — a simulated Nominal Group Technique session.
Bound an idea against a purpose profile using a 4-stage cascade — AI surfaces friction questions for each stage; you issue the verdict.
Find real arxiv papers related to your idea and surface authors worth reaching out to — you write your own outreach.
Build a 5-track mixtape that captures what an idea feels like — a curation tool that surfaces the emotional shape of a project.
Generate three layered pitch outputs — X-for-Y hook, elevator, and channel-shaped draft — for a given audience and format.
Write your idea — AI surfaces 'Have you considered…' prompts. You decide which are real concerns and which are already handled.
A deterministic self-check — can you say your idea in one paragraph, under the word budget, with no markdown scaffolding?
Rumsfeld 2×2+1 probing — known unknowns and unknown unknowns specific to your idea. You decide which probes are real.
How to use BIG Tools inside a workshop — working pace, what to promote, when to re-open a stage, and how to export.
Running a BIG Ideas cohort on BIG Tools — onboarding, pacing, language, and what to watch for across a group.
