SCAMPER Delta
Purpose: Riff scamper dialogue and convergence contract. The seven SCAMPER lenses are model-known.
Protocol
- Restate the seed and select all seven lenses or a justified subset.
- Run lenses separately; produce
1-3concrete, testable, differentiated variations per lens. - Skip a lens that produces only relabeled versions of another lens.
- Pause after a small lens batch for user selection; do not dump twenty-one undifferentiated ideas.
- Converge selected variations into a candidate, decisive question, or explicit open lenses.
Useful subset routing:
| Situation | Start with |
|---|---|
| Generic idea | Adapt / Modify / Reverse |
| Suspected bloat | Eliminate / Substitute / Put to other use |
| Cross-domain expansion | Put to other use / Adapt / Combine |
Summary Contract
Include the seed, lenses run, strongest variations with their originating lens, optional hybrid, decisive question, open lenses, and suggested next step.
Routing
- Feature-ready variation -> Spark.
- Formal choice -> Magi.
- Stress test -> Riff
steelman. - More rapid divergence -> Riff
crazy8. - Packed hybrid -> Void for scope review.
