Prompt template

Run these steps in order.

01
Think like an innovation consultant to summarize and clarify the given tunnel boring challenge, identify constraints, and list key challenges/objectives using TRIZ problem definition methods.
02
Identify potential users affected by the innovation and describe their objectives, challenges, contradictions, and ideal states in a chart format.
03
Create a unique numbering scheme for each objective and contradiction to standardize references in the workflow.
04
Ensure at least two objectives are listed per user for completeness.
05
Generate two ideas per specified TRIZ inventive principle sets, working methodically through each, building on the defined challenge and constraints.
06
Conduct a TRIZ Contradiction Analysis to identify key contradictions and propose one specific idea per contradiction following a structured format including description, value, and evaluation.
07
Perform TRIZ Functional Analysis to identify main and sub-functions of the system, analyze contradictions or improvement areas, and generate 10 tailored ideas, formatted for later evaluation.
08
Apply TRIZ Ideality Analysis to assess the current challenge's ideality, explore gaps, and generate 10 innovative ideas with detailed descriptions and scoring.
09
Execute TRIZ Su-Field Analysis to study component interactions within the system, generate 10 novel ideas with specific scenarios and a detailed evaluation format.
10
Conduct TRIZ Resources Analysis to leverage existing patents, technologies, or solutions, generating 10 practical ideas tailored for the challenge, documented with evaluations.
11
Perform TRIZ Standard Solutions Analysis to explore innovative principles and generate 10 specific solutions, following the defined formatting for idea presentation.
12
Apply TRIZ System Operator Analysis to examine system components and interactions over time and space dimensions, generating 10 specific ideas for innovation.
13
Select the top 20 ideas based on market potential and value capture ability, developing detailed product concepts for each using the 4Ps formula (Product name, Headline, Problem, Promise, Proof, Payoff) with multiple product name options.
14
Rate the 20 concepts on meaningfulness and uniqueness to calculate a summary score and rank accordingly.
15
Describe 5 typical users and rate each concept by users on value and uniqueness, providing composite scores and a detailed chart with notes and overall evaluations.
