**2. Random Connection** (3 ideas)
Connect my challenge to 3 unrelated things: a kitchen utensil, an animal behavior, and a childhood game. Force unexpected connections.

**3. Constraint Flip** (3 ideas)
Take my biggest constraint and make it the FEATURE. What if the limitation was the selling point?
