| Criterion |  Innovation Lotus Blossom |  Product Discovery Test Card |
|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When a central question feels too large, the method breaks it into neighboring topic fields with their own depth of ideation. It holds structure and openness at the same time, so adjacent perspectives don't get lost. This grows an idea space out of a core problem. | The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success. |
