- Black Hat (Caution): Logical negative — risks, dangers, difficulties, problems.
- Yellow Hat (Optimism): Logical positive — benefits, value, feasibility under best conditions.
- Green Hat (Creativity): Alternatives, provocations, new ideas — lateral thinking.
- Blue Hat (Process): Meta-thinking — what have we learned? What's next? Summary.
