State the real problem. Choose an extreme seed that changes one constraint, customer, resource or rule. During a short generation round, list consequences and variants without arguing with the seed. Remove the seed, restore actual constraints and choose one feasible fragment to test or develop.

Check-in: Which useful fragment came from the extreme seed, and what real constraint or next test made it actionable?

Evidence: Practical guidance; no evidence-like claim is detected in the current source record.

Review note: The inherited article contained fabricated session outcomes, multipliers, percentage claims and pseudo-precise timing rules. The effective public record is rewritten as a provocation-to-feasible-idea exercise without an evidence claim.

An unrealistic seed can move a session away from the first familiar answer. Its purpose is temporary: expose consequences and variants, then remove the seed and select only what remains useful.

1. State the problem and choose a seed

Write the outcome, audience and main constraint. Reverse one constraint, remove a resource, change the customer or imagine an unusual rule.

2. Explore without evaluation

List what would change in behavior, sequence, ownership, cost, communication or failure. Do not argue with feasibility during this pass.

3. Restore constraints and choose one test

Return to the real budget, time, safety and technical limits. Select one fragment that can be prototyped or checked and record what would make you discard it.

Questions to consider

Does the bold seed need to be realistic?

No. It is a temporary lens, not a proposal. The final idea must still pass the real constraints after the seed is removed.

What if the group starts debating the seed?

Remind everyone that evaluation comes later. Write consequences and variants first, then return to feasibility in a separate pass.

Are all extreme prompts acceptable?

No. Avoid prompts that normalize harm, broken consent or unsafe shortcuts. Boldness does not remove boundaries.

Implementation observations can trigger a review, but they cannot change an evidence conclusion by themselves. Commercial relationships do not control review status or outcomes.
