# Brainstorming
## Overview
When requirements are vague and "what to build" is unclear, brainstorming clarifies the problem space through structured questioning and option generation.
## When to Use
- Requirements lack clarity or specificity
- Multiple valid approaches exist and trade-offs need exploration
- The problem space needs definition before research
- Stakeholders have not converged on a direction
## Distinction from Research
- **Brainstorming**: Addresses "what to build" (unclear requirements)
- **Research**: Addresses "how it works" (clear goal, unknown implementation)
## Process
1. **Explore problem space** - Ask clarifying questions one at a time
2. **Identify ambiguities** - Surface assumptions and unknowns
3. **Generate options** - Propose design alternatives with trade-offs
4. **Select approach** - Human chooses direction
5. **Synthesize requirements** - Produce clear requirements for research phase
