  "title": "Turn the conflict into one thing that must be opposite ways",
  "summary": "The stronger question is sometimes not 'how much of each?' but 'when must the same thing be both?' ",
  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "Identify the critical element and state the physical contradiction: it must have property A to satisfy one requirement and not-A to satisfy the other. This reframing can reveal separation strategies that a compromise hides. Keep the opposite properties tied to concrete conditions.",
  "limits": [
    "Do not invent artificial opposites when the real problem is simply choosing among unrelated objectives."

    {
      "claim": "TRIZ defines a physical contradiction as a situation where opposite properties or requirements are demanded from the same element or system.",
      "source_id": "RS-759A6DDEF8407409",
      "role": "supports",
      "note": "The useful part is the explicit opposing requirement, not forcing metaphorical opposites onto a problem that is merely multi-objective.",
      "locator": "Physical contradiction definition"

  "use_when": [
    "A technical contradiction seems to demand a compromise between two linked requirements."

    "Do not invent artificial opposites when the real problem is simply choosing among unrelated objectives."

  "example": "A production change mechanism must be fast enough for frequent releases and slow enough to expose defects before wide rollout.",
  "check": "One element carries two genuinely opposing requirements that can be explored through separation rather than averaging.",
