  "title": "Invite one deliberately different discipline into ideation",
  "summary": "A different vocabulary can expose a different solution family.",
  "kind": "heuristic",
  "body": "Bring in someone with a materially different discipline or operating context and give them the problem, constraints and current failed approaches. Ask for mechanisms, analogies and questions rather than an instant verdict. Translate useful ideas back into the original constraints before selection.",
  "limits": [
    "Diversity can improve search in some settings but does not guarantee better solutions. Domain expertise and integration still matter."

  "evidence": [
    {
      "claim": "In one field experiment with scientific staff using electronic brainwriting, multidisciplinary groups produced greater depth of ideas than unidisciplinary groups.",
      "source_id": "RS-B0AB7EFB236D3E2F",
      "role": "supports",
      "note": "This is one domain and one operationalization of idea quality; do not generalize to every diverse team.",
      "locator": "Abstract: method and results"

  "use_when": [
    "A team keeps generating variants from the same professional toolkit."

  "avoid_when": [
    "Diversity can improve search in some settings but does not guarantee better solutions. Domain expertise and integration still matter."
  ],
  "example": "A data-migration team asks a reliability engineer how they design detection, containment and recovery around partial failure.",
  "check": "The outside contribution introduces at least one new category or mechanism, not merely another opinion.",
