Quality constraints built in

• No suggestions for unrelated businesses
• No ideas requiring a completely different customer or brand — unless labeled high-risk
• Ideas that aren't worth pursuing dismissed directly
• Validation before building required in all plans

The strongest revenue ideas usually come from existing customers, existing trust, and existing distribution. The template prioritizes those first.
