+## Problem
+
+In many organizations, there's an inherent pressure to present finished or near-finished ideas, which reduces the opportunity for collaborative input from a wider community. How can we encourage individuals to open up their ideas or challenges early for feedback, leveraging the collective intelligence of the community?
+
+## Context
+
+* Organizations where sharing early-stage ideas is not the norm.
+* Environments where there's a fear of criticism or judgment for unfinished ideas.
+* Cultures that prioritize individual achievement over collective collaboration.
+
+## Forces
+
+* **Inertia:** Employees often follow established cultural norms.
+* **Lack of Awareness:** Some might not be aware of the benefits of tapping into the collective intelligence.
+* **Fear of Criticism:** Sharing an unfinished idea can be daunting.
+
+## Solution
+
+* Create a safe space (like a specific repo, brainstorming channel) where employees can share unfinished ideas.
+* Encourage opening (WIP or draft) PRs that are not fully complete but provide a starting point for discussion.
+* Cultivate a community culture that values and rewards collaboration and feedback.
+* Host regular "idea-sharing" sessions where team members can present their initial thoughts and get feedback.
+
+## Resulting Context
+
+* Enhanced collaboration and broader input on ideas.
+* Reduction in duplicated efforts across the organization.
+* Faster ideation to implementation timelines.
+* Stronger sense of community and shared ownership of challenges and solutions.
