# First Paper Brainstorm
Use this branch after intake and before literature mapping when the user needs to turn a vague direction into a paper-capable idea.
## Inputs
Read:
```text
paper_output/project_config.json
paper_output/source_map.md
paper_output/source_inventory.md
```
## Brainstorming lenses
Generate candidates using these lenses:
1. **Problem lens:** What unresolved problem or bottleneck is visible?
2. **Material lens:** What can the user actually analyze, build, observe, or test?
3. **Method lens:** What method, model, experiment, theory, or framework could be compared, extended, simplified, or evaluated?
4. **Evidence lens:** What claim could be supported with feasible evidence?
5. **Failure lens:** Where might the approach fail, and would that failure clarify scope?
6. **Reader-value lens:** What would a reader learn that is not obvious from prior work?
## Required outputs
Create:
```text
paper_output/problem_landscape.md
paper_output/idea_candidate_matrix.md
paper_output/research_question_options.md
paper_output/feasibility_filter.md
```
## Candidate matrix
Use:
| Candidate ID | Problem | Candidate Research Question | Possible Contribution | Needed Evidence | Available Evidence | Missing Evidence | Feasibility | Novelty Risk | Claim Risk | Next Test |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
## Filtering
Classify candidates as:
- `advance`: strong enough for literature mapping;
- `needs_more_material`: promising but missing evidence;
- `defe
