The early stage
Turn open questions into useful direction.
When a business concept is still taking shape, it helps to slow down, look at the choices, and give the thinking some structure.

Explore the idea
Give the starting thought room to become a clearer concept.

Compare the paths
Set possible approaches alongside each other and consider the tradeoffs.
