Exploration stage
Challenge assumptions
Flip what feels fixed.
The hook
"What are you treating as true without checking?"
→ Do this now
Write down 3 assumptions about the project.
Choose one and flip it.
What becomes possible if the opposite were true?
Make a quick sketch.
WHY IT HELPS
Assumptions quietly limit your ideas.
Changing one can push the project in a direction you would not normally consider.
You don't have to keep the new idea.
The point is to break the pattern and see what appears.
