Frameworks

Structured thinking for the fire in your circuit. Methodologies, mental models, and frameworks that turn process into passion.

The Fire Framework

The core methodology behind FireInTheCircuit

Four Elements

Spark - The initial insight or problem recognition
Fuel - Research, data, and systematic investigation
Flame - Creative synthesis and solution development
Fire - Implementation and continuous refinement

Application

Use this framework for any creative or technical challenge. Start with the spark of curiosity, fuel it with research, let it flame into creative solutions, and maintain the fire through execution.

Creative Frameworks

Methods for sparking and sustaining creative thinking

  • • The Divergent-Convergent Cycle
  • • Constraint-Based Innovation
  • • The Question Cascade Method
  • • Analogical Thinking Framework

Decision Frameworks

Structured approaches to complex decision-making

  • • The Weighted Decision Matrix
  • • Scenario Planning Framework
  • • The OODA Loop for Decisions
  • • Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis

Execution Frameworks

Systems for turning ideas into reality

  • • The Iteration Spiral
  • • Feedback Loop Optimization
  • • The Momentum Framework
  • • Quality Gates Methodology

The Philosophy Behind Frameworks

Frameworks aren't rigid structures—they're living systems that adapt to your context. The best frameworks serve as scaffolding for your thinking, not cages for your creativity.

Each framework here has been battle-tested in real projects, refined through iteration, and designed to amplify the human element in your work. They're tools for thinking, not substitutes for thinking.
