Combination Mapping

Systematically enumerate parameter dimensions and generate viable combinations.

Stages

Stage 1: Parameter Extraction

Identify independent parameters of the problem space using parameter-identification SOP. Verify orthogonality.

Stage 2: Value Enumeration

For each parameter, enumerate 3-5 meaningful values including boundary and extreme values. Use value-enumeration SOP or direct generation.

Stage 3: Compatibility Assessment

Evaluate pairwise compatibility of value combinations. Flag logically/empirically/normatively inconsistent pairs. Use consistency-pair-evaluation SOP if available.

Stage 4: Path Generation

Generate viable combination paths through the consistent solution space. Prioritize unexplored regions (white space). Use path-generation or recombination-generation SOP.

Stage 5: Synthesis

Evaluate generated combinations for novelty and feasibility. Synthesize into structured ideas.

Minimum Yield

Metric	Floor
Parameters identified	≥4
Values per parameter	≥3
Combinations evaluated	≥10
Viable novel combinations	≥5

Available SOPs

SOP	Role
parameter-identification	Stage 1 — decompose problem into parameters
value-enumeration	Stage 2 — enumerate parameter values
consistency-pair-evaluation	Stage 3 — check pairwise compatibility
path-generation	Stage 4 — generate combination paths
recombination-generation	Stage 4 — alternative combination approach
constraint-injection	Stage 3 — inject constraints to reduce space
novelty-scoring	Stage 5 — score combinations
idea-synthesis	Stage 5 — synthesize into concepts
saturation-detection	Post — check if space is exhausted

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
creative-ideation-consistency-pair-evaluation	Evaluate pairwise value consistency (logical/empirical/normative)
value-enumeration	Enumerate 3-5 values per parameter including extremes
