s4h-analogy-domain-transferImports solutions from unrelated domains by finding structural similarities between your problem and solved problems elsewhere.s4h-creativity-alternativesApply Edward de Bono's APC (Alternatives, Possibilities, Choices) tool to deliberately generate options before evaluating any of them.s4h-creativity-lateral-thinkingApply Edward de Bono's lateral thinking to escape dominant patterns and generate genuinely new directions.s4h-decision-criteria-weightingRuns a weighted multi-criteria analysis — making explicit what matters, how much, and how each option performs against it.s4h-aesthetic-coherence-checkTests whether the parts of something form a unified whole — finding the jarring inconsistencies that accumulate when different contributors work without a…s4h-aesthetic-elegance-testingTests whether a solution is more complex than it needs to be — distinguishing necessary complexity from accidental complexity that accreted over time.s4h-aesthetic-pattern-detectionIdentifies the underlying formal pattern at work — because most successful designs, arguments, and solutions share deep structural patterns, and naming the…s4h-analogy-boundary-testingFinds where an analogy breaks down before it's relied upon. Analogies fail silently — the damage happens when decisions are made on a mapping that doesn't hold…s4h-analogy-structure-mappingIdentifies the deep structural correspondence between two situations — genuine isomorphism vs superficial similarity.s4h-cognition-cognitive-loadManages the limits of working memory — chunking, offloading, and reducing unnecessary complexity to free capacity for what matters.s4h-cognition-mental-modelsSurfaces and audits the internal representations that drive perception and decision-making.s4h-communication-clarity-auditAudits a communication for places where the message will be lost, misread, or misunderstood — before it's sent.s4h-constraint-hardness-testingTests whether a stated constraint is real — distinguishing genuine limits from assumptions, habits, or politics dressed as facts.s4h-constraint-scope-reductionFinds the minimum that satisfies the actual requirement — stripping everything wanted but not needed.s4h-creativity-consider-factorsApply Edward de Bono's CAF (Consider All Factors) tool to map every relevant factor before making a decision or taking action.s4h-creativity-provocationApply Edward de Bono's Provocation Operation (Po) to use deliberately absurd or impossible statements as springboards to new ideas.s4h-creativity-random-entryApply Edward de Bono's Random Entry technique — use an unrelated word, object, or image as a creative springboard to break out of cognitive ruts.s4h-decision-premortem-analysisImagines the decision has been made and failed — then diagnoses why.s4h-design-constraintsUses constraints productively — maps hard limits, soft preferences, and how the tightest constraints define the solution space.s4h-ecology-interdependenceMaps dependency webs and the cascading effects of removing or changing a node in the web.s4h-ecology-keystone-speciesIdentifies the entities with disproportionate structural importance — whose removal would collapse the system.s4h-economics-externalitiesIdentifies costs and benefits not borne by the decision-maker — and how to internalise them.s4h-aestheticEntry point for the aesthetic toolkit. Routes to the right aesthetic skill based on your situation.s4h-aesthetic-simplicity-analysisFinds the simpler version while preserving what matters — not arbitrary reduction, but finding the core and discarding what is not it.s4h-analogyEntry point for the analogy toolkit. Routes to the right analogy skill based on your situation.s4h-analogy-perspective-shiftingApproaches a problem from completely different fields to break the assumption blindness that comes from domain expertise.s4h-cognitionEntry point for the cognition toolkit. Routes to the right cognition skill based on your situation.s4h-cognition-attentionMaps the attention economy of a mind or situation — what captures it, what depletes it, and how to protect it.s4h-cognition-metacognitionApplies thinking-about-thinking as a practical tool — monitoring comprehension, calibrating confidence, and knowing what you do not know.s4h-communicationEntry point for the communication toolkit. Routes to the right communication skill based on your situation.s4h-communication-audience-modelingMaps what the audience currently believes, actually cares about, and fears before communicating — because communication fails at the receiver, not the sender.s4h-communication-medium-selectionMatches the message to the right channel and format — the same content in the wrong medium loses most of its effect.s4h-communication-objection-mappingMaps likely objections before delivering a proposal — objections that are anticipated feel addressed; objections that land as surprises derail.s4h-constraintEntry point for the constraint toolkit. Routes to the right constraint skill based on your situation.s4h-constraint-rule-inversionFlips a constraint into a creative driver — uses the limit as the generative force rather than working around it.s4h-constraint-workaround-mappingFinds paths around a fixed constraint without removing it — routing around a hard limit to reach the same goal.s4h-creativityEntry point for the creativity toolkit. Routes to the right creative thinking technique based on your situation.s4h-creativity-assumption-excavatorSurface and challenge the hidden assumptions in any problem, plan, or framing.s4h-creativity-brainstormRun an orchestrated multi-method creative thinking sprint on a challenge.s4h-creativity-concept-fanApply Edward de Bono's Concept Fan to expand the solution space before committing to an approach.s4h-creativity-other-perspectivesApply Edward de Bono's OPS (Other People's Shoes) tool to genuinely think from other perspectives.s4h-creativity-plus-minus-interestingApply Edward de Bono's Plus/Minus/Interesting (PMI) tool for balanced evaluation of any idea, proposal, plan, or decision.s4h-creativity-six-hatsApply Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats for structured parallel thinking.s4h-creativity-water-logicApply Edward de Bono's water logic for flow-based, non-judgmental exploration.s4h-decisionEntry point for the decision toolkit. Routes to the right decision skill based on your situation.s4h-decision-option-mappingEnsures all real options are visible before choosing — countering the false dichotomy that limits consideration to the first two options that came to mind.s4h-decision-reversibility-analysisCategorises a decision by reversibility and applies the appropriate level of process rigour.s4h-designEntry point for the design thinking toolkit. Routes to the right design skill based on your situation.s4h-design-iterationStructures the feedback loop between making and learning — prototyping, testing, and convergence toward fit.s4h-design-simplicityApplies the design principle of removing rather than adding — finding the form that does exactly what is needed, nothing more.s4h-design-user-needsDistinguishes real needs from stated wants — uses jobs-to-be-done and latent need mapping to find what actually matters.s4h-ecologyEntry point for the ecology thinking toolkit. Routes to the right ecology skill based on your situation.s4h-ecology-carrying-capacityApplies carrying capacity thinking to any system with limits — maps the ceiling, overshoot risk, and what happens when it is crossed.s4h-ecology-successionApplies ecological succession to understand how systems evolve through stages — pioneer, consolidation, climax, and disturbance.s4h-economics-coordinationDiagnoses collective action failures, public goods problems, and why individually rational behaviour produces collective irrationality.s4h-economics-incentive-mappingMaps who benefits, who pays, and what behaviours the incentive structure actually produces.s4h-economics-marginApplies marginal thinking: the relevant decision is the next unit, not the average or the sunk cost.
