1. “If you give a mouse a cookie” Format
For proposing new solutions for problems generated by unworkable circular solutions

2. If you give a mouse a cookie
What was the first step in the solution that’s not really a solution?

3. Then he wants a glass of milk
What was the second step in the solution that’s not really a solution?

4. Then he wants a straw
What is the third step in the solution that’s not really a solution?

5. Then he wants…
After that?

6. And it leads to another cookie
When the problem circles back around and you know the solution did not really fix the problem

7. What to give the mouse instead?
If they had just done this other thing at first, then it would have all been different.

8. Solving the real problem
How your solution will break the cycle

9. The ask
Why your project needs to be funded - to implement your solution that breaks the cycle
