Think Contradiction Resolution
Converts a stuck trade-off into a contradiction to dissolve rather than a compromise to settle for. Names the two conflicting requirements, states an implementation-free Ideal Final Result, and applies the four separation principles (separate the requirements in time, space, scale, or condition) to satisfy both at once, then produces either a concrete resolution or an honest flag that the trade-off is genuine. Use when a decision has hardened into an either/or like speed versus quality, thorough versus fast, or generous versus profitable, when splitting the difference feels wrong and a win-win would be worth far more than the best compromise, or when a recurring design or product trade-off keeps forcing the same painful balance.
