Research Gap · Creativity & Expression · Ready for resolution review
Which incubation, analogy, reframing, or constraint techniques reliably improve creative problem solving?
Prefer meta-analyses and controlled studies that distinguish idea quantity from quality and task fit.
Still open. A reviewed Evidence Decision and trusted Topic protocol exist, but no explicit closure record exists yet.
Evidence boundary
Do not generalize divergent-thinking scores into guaranteed real-world creativity.

Closure rule
Brali does not close this gap because a paper exists or because a protocol sounds plausible. Closure requires an explicit resolution whose reviewed Evidence Decisions map to this Topic and whose referenced protocols are present in the trusted protocol feed for the same Topic.
