  "summary": "Do not make an idea win the moment it is born.",
  "kind": "principle",
  "body": "Use distinct phases: generate options, clarify what each means, then rank or select against explicit criteria. During generation, capture without debate. During clarification, resolve meaning without selling. During ranking, allow preferences to become visible.",
  "limits": [
    "Separation is a process aid, not a reason to preserve obviously unsafe or out-of-scope options."

  "use_when": [
    "Ideas are being judged as soon as they appear, causing the group to converge before the option space is visible."

    "Separation is a process aid, not a reason to preserve obviously unsafe or out-of-scope options."

  "example": "A team first writes possible release strategies, then clarifies dependencies, then scores only after the criteria are fixed.",
