worst-idea

Worst Possible Idea (reverse brainstorming) — deliberately design the most terrible solutions to the problem, name the mechanism that makes each one bad, then invert those mechanisms into strong features. Use when ideas all feel timid and safe, when the team is optimizing instead of imagining, or for "worst idea", "reverse brainstorming", "what would make this worse", "design the disaster", "how would we guarantee failure". Do NOT use for analytical work like debugging, code review, or implementation tasks.
