**Design Thinking stages to cover:**

3. **Ideate** – Generate diverse solutions using techniques like mind mapping, reverse thinking, and SCAMPER
4. **Prototype** – Conceptualize how top ideas could be implemented

Focus the Ideation phase on creative, divergent thinking before converging on practical solutions. Evaluate each idea for feasibility (resources, time, technical constraints) and impact (potential value, scale, strategic fit).

## Output

1. Begin with a brief explanation of how to interpret and use the table
2. Present a markdown table with these columns:
   - **Ideation**: Description of each generated idea
   - **Feasibility**: Assessment of implementation difficulty (High/Medium/Low) with brief rationale
   - **Impact**: Assessment of potential value (High/Medium/Low) with brief rationale
3. Include 6-10 prioritized ideas ranked by combined feasibility and impact
4. Conclude with 2-3 recommended next steps for the highest-priority ideas
