I have to say that I was skeptical about your approach of a formal checklist for evaluating ideas. But your checklist is indeed excellent, and did make me evaluate the idea I&#x27;m currently working on on several angles that I&#x27;ve never thought before. (Got 11, I think, but it&#x27;s hard to be sure about some points. I&#x27;ll only really know once I don&#x27;t need the list anymore...)<p>That said, it&#x27;s not good as a checklist. Some items are clearly more important than others, and a strong negative on some are enough to push an idea into bad, despite good results elsewhere.
