"An opinion isn't an insight. What actually supports what you think you've found?"

Do this now

Find one piece of evidence that supports your insight — a research finding, a real-world example, a documented behaviour. Write: 'This insight is supported by...' If you can't find anything, ask whether the insight is real or just a feeling dressed up as a conclusion.

Unpack

This isn't about burying your idea in citations — it's about checking whether your thinking holds up outside your own head. Confirmation bias is the trap: looking only for evidence that agrees with you. Actively look for something that challenges your insight too — if it survives that, it's strong.

Draw it.

Fast and messy is better than perfect.
