It is important to not get carried away from possible solutions during synthesis and analysis phase. Put them on the
shelves for later and focus on further synthesis. This tool will help you store your ideas so that you can refer them later in the ideation phase, it wont be lost 🙂

How did I use it?
This tool came in handy for the research phase of my MA Strategic Design 1st semester. The project was related to climate change and as a team(3 members) we were able to collect huge amount of data on the subject, requirement, client and target group.
There were many instances where we encountered really intriguing solutions much before completing the synthesis phase. This tool helped us store away those ideas for the time being and we revisited them during the ideation phase.
