ideate

The REFINEMENT phase of the marketplace. Takes a validated opportunity (from discover) or a raw idea you already have and refines it to knowledge-parity through an adversarially-challenged dialogue, producing the IDEA PACKAGE: precise AGENT-FACING handoff documents (idea brief, subject-matter-understanding seed, first vertical slice, and a handoff contract that satisfies DELIVER's discovery exit criteria) plus rich, illustrated USER-FACING documents (opportunity narrative, parameter scorecard, market/pricing/competition charts, a user-flow, and a mockup screen) rendered by capability — charts via publish, user-flows/mockups via design (design-reviewed) — when installed; degrades to markdown otherwise. Iterated with the user before hand-off, then carried to PRODUCTION by DELIVER. Supersedes DELIVER's inline ideate, which remains as a graceful-degradation fallback. Also runs /ideate:name — a marketing-grade naming studio: a deep discovery interview (audience, brand archetype, name-type appetite, power-adjacency, humour, risk), wide-net generation across the full name-type taxonomy + affix hooks + phonosemantic tuning, a deterministic token-free checker (registries + neighbour/typo-squat proximity + domain/RDAP + cross-language connotation), and a scored challenge (Neumeier 7 / SMILE-SCRATCH / archetype-fit). Self-improving: ambiguities a downstream builder hits flow back to sharpen the question-bank and the package contract.
