Option Generation Task

An Option Generation Task is a creative alternative development planning task that can create possible course of actions from current state assessments.

• AKA: Alternative Generation Task, Solution Space Exploration Task, Choice Creation Task.
• Context:
  • Task Input: Current State Assessment, Constraint Set, Objective Function
    • Optional Input: Historical Option Database, Domain Best Practices
  • Task Output: Option Set, Alternative Solutions, Action Possibility Space
  • Task Performance Measure: Option Diversity Score, Feasibility Rate, Innovation Metric
  • ...
  • It can typically generate Conventional Options through option generation standard practice mining.
  • It can typically create Innovative Alternatives via option generation creative synthesis methods.
  • It can typically explore Solution Boundarys using option generation constraint relaxation.
  • It can typically combine Partial Solutions through option generation hybrid approach building.
  • It can typically adapt External Solution Patterns via option generation cross-domain transfer.
  • ...
  • It can often expand Option Space through option generation divergent thinking.
  • It can often discover Non-Obvious Alternatives using option generation lateral thinking techniques.
  • It can often generate Contingency Options via option generation scenario planning.
  • It can often create Incremental Variations through option generation parameter adjustment.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Narrow Option Generation Task to being a Broad Option Generation Task, depending on its option generation scope width.
  • It can range from being a Conservative Option Generation Task to being a Radical Option Generation Task, depending on its option generation innovation level.
  • ...
  • It can follow State Assessment Tasks for option generation context-aware creation.
  • It can utilize Insight Generation Tasks for option generation informed alternative development.
  • It can precede Decision Making Tasks through option generation choice preparation.
  • It can support Action Planning Tasks via option generation implementation pathway creation.
  • It can enable AI Cost-Benefit Analysis Methods through option generation evaluation candidate provision.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Strategic Option Generation Tasks, such as:
    • Business Strategy Option Generation Tasks, such as:
      • Market Entry Option Generation Task for option generation expansion alternative creation.
      • Product Development Option Generation Task for option generation innovation pathway exploration.
    • Technology Option Generation Tasks, such as:
      • Architecture Option Generation Task for option generation system design alternative.
      • Algorithm Selection Option Generation Task for option generation computational approach choice.
  • Problem-Solving Option Generation Tasks, such as:
    • Crisis Response Option Generation Tasks, such as:
      • Emergency Action Option Generation Task for option generation rapid response alternative.
      • Risk Mitigation Option Generation Task for option generation threat response strategy.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Option Evaluation Task, which lacks option generation creation aspect.
  • Decision Implementation Task, which lacks option generation alternative development.
  • Single Solution Task, which lacks option generation multiple possibility exploration.
