Purposedifferent | For technical contradictions or trade-offs, the method looks for solutions that resolve opposing requirements at the same time. It translates limits into an explicit picture of conflict that becomes workable. This produces not just compromises but more elegant principles. | When demand only needs to be roughly verified, it tests interest with minimal effort. It measures whether people would take a next step at all. |
