Actually, please don't put any limits on your ideas or creativity at this point. Brainstorm, innovate, and contemplate whatever ideas you might like to consider. We are very aware that not all teams will be able to contend with the implicit expertise requirements contained in many of the ideas. But for now, we don't want to stifle the thought exercise. Reality filters will be put in place later in the process.
