A moment of deliberate self-audit before committing to a new idea — pausing the brainstorm spiral to ask whether the concept actually has legs or is just vibes dressed up as strategy. In startup and creative circles, an ideation check is the internal speed bump that separates compulsive brainstormers from people who can actually ship. It's the voice that says: cool concept, but have you stress-tested it past the shower thought stage? Also used between collaborators as a quick gut-check before pitching wider.
