The relevant underlying idea is brainstorming: a divergent-thinking practice that generates possibilities before evaluating them.

Verified against the maintained tool definition and its reproducible Try Demo fixture on August 9, 2026.

Reproducible worked example

Try the “Product Design Exploration” example

Starting point

Load the built-in “Product Design Exploration” demo. It starts with labels such as Solution 2: Student Mobile, Solution 1: Dev Tool SaaS, Target Audience, Pricing Model, and Core Feature.

What to verify

Use Morphological Box to grid matrix for combining attributes into new solutions. The demo should produce a concrete idea set organized according to this brainstorming method; confirm that Solution 2: Student Mobile, Solution 1: Dev Tool SaaS, and Target Audience appear in the result.

The example is derived from the maintained fixture behind Morphological Box's Try Demo control, rather than from an invented scenario. It exercises the “create a new visual” workflow with brainstorming and affinity mapping as review lenses.

Method and quality check

1
Prepare for Morphological Box
Write a specific prompt and separate idea generation from evaluation. Keep the first Morphological Box example small enough to inspect without zooming or filtering away important context.
2
Work with the tool's stated purpose
Grid matrix for combining attributes into new solutions. Build a small first version before adding detail so the structure stays easy to revise.
3
Check the result
After using Morphological Box, group repeated ideas, name the emerging themes, and move promising options into a decision method. The first draft should make its central subject and major groups understandable at a glance.
