What it does
Applies senior creative director thinking: insight first, then structured ideation with SIT, TRIZ, bisociation, SCAMPER and related methods instead of free association. Concepts are scored against weighted criteria calibrated on Cannes Lions, D&AD and HumanKind standards and refined recursively, and a bundled library of past campaigns is used to detect saturation and keep ideas original. Useful for campaign strategy, brand positioning and breaking out of generic creative solutions. Not for media planning, production budgets, logo design or final copy drafts.
