We are stuck in a rut designing a new smart home security device that looks and acts like every existing camera. I want you to run a severe constraint ideation exercise to break our implicit assumptions. Please impose several radical restrictions (such as zero electricity, no optic lenses, micro budgets, or strange user constraints), work out forced functional concepts for each restriction without calling them impossible, extract the underlying transferable principles from those forced ideas, and synthesize new, unconstrained product concepts based on those insights.
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Applies at least 5 distinct extreme constraints across different restriction types | Missed | Passed |
| Generates at least 5 forced functional solutions corresponding to the constraints | Missed | Passed |
| Extracts at least 3 transferable principles from the forced solutions | Passed | Passed |
| Synthesizes at least 2 novel unconstrained product concepts | Passed | Passed |
