Contains Solution? Able to create rich brainstorm? Clarity of focus: trying to include too much? Unique insights and language?
Contains Solution? Able to create rich brainstorm? Clarity of focus: trying to include too much? Unique insights and language? Sample POV: An overworked father needs a massage.
Contains Solution? Able to create rich brainstorm? Clarity of focus: trying to include too much? Unique insights and language? Sample POV: Angst-filled, pop-culture loving teen seeks way to figure out his post- graduation plan. Solution must be able to be implemented immediately. Cheap and easy methods a must.

Synthesis: The art of making meaning and finding direction. (Now that we know what goldmines look like, let’s talk about finding one)

Two quick facts about synthesizing: It takes about as much time to digest information as it did to collect it. The process is messy and fluid. Be mindful of your process and trust your intuition.
