A single-page workbench for systematic innovation of products, processes, and services — capture ideas, run them through structured GenAI ideation prompts, classify by growth horizon and readiness level, score them, and shortlist what actually gets resourced.
Open index.html directly in a browser, or enable GitHub Pages on this repo (Settings → Pages → deploy from main) to host it live. No build step, no dependencies, no backend — everything runs client-side and persists to the browser's localStorage.
- Intake — capture an idea's title, type (product/process/service), problem statement, and description.
- Ideation assist — generates a ready-to-paste GenAI prompt per idea, using one of five divergent techniques: SCAMPER, TRIZ contradiction analysis, Jobs-to-be-Done, first-principles, or analogical transfer/biomimicry.
- Horizon classification — McKinsey's Three Horizons (H1 core, H2 adjacent, H3 transformational).
- Readiness scale — a 1–9 scale adapted from NASA/DoD Technology Readiness Levels, generalized beyond hardware to cover processes and services.
- Funnel scoring — a weighted composite of desirability, feasibility, viability, and strategic fit (0–100).
- Stage-gate board — Discover → Define → Develop → Validate → Scale, as a kanban view.
- Portfolio matrix — a Horizon × TRL bubble chart that exposes whether the pipeline is overloaded with safe, low-TRL H1 bets or missing H3 options entirely.
- Shortlist gate — a single adjustable threshold that turns the full idea list into a resourceable few.
- Playbook — the frameworks above, plus the courses that informed them, documented in-app.
- McKinsey's Three Horizons of Growth (Baghai, Coley & White, The Alchemy of Growth, 1999)
- NASA/DoD Technology Readiness Levels (adapted here for non-hardware use)
- IDEO's Desirability/Feasibility/Viability lenses
- Stage-Gate process (Cooper)
- SCAMPER, TRIZ, Jobs-to-be-Done, first-principles, analogical transfer
