SCAMPER Tactic
Layer Rules
- Layer: tactic — orchestrates SCAMPER SOPs
- Called by: structural-deconstruction tactic, idea-augmentation tactic
- Calls: 1-3 SCAMPER SOPs selected by AI based on idea characteristics
Minimum Operator Usage
<HARD-GATE>
**You MUST use at least 2 SCAMPER operators.** Using only 1 operator produces narrow results.
The 7 SCAMPER operators: Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put-other-use, Eliminate, Reverse
Selection guidance:
- For Small topics: use 2-3 operators
- For Medium topics: use 3-4 operators
- For Large topics: use 4+ operators
Prefer operators that produce DIVERSE ideas (don't pick 2 similar operators like Modify + Adapt).
Good diverse pairs: Substitute + Reverse, Combine + Eliminate, Adapt + Put-other-use.
