First Principles Breakdown

The problem I'm working on: [describe the problem in 1-2 sentences]

Break this down using first principles thinking:

1. **Decompose**: Keep asking "why" until you hit the most basic, irreducible facts that make this problem exist
2. **Strip the assumptions**: What does this industry take for granted that might not actually be true? What would change if you removed those constraints?
3. **Rebuild**: Starting from just the fundamentals, what solution would you design if you had no preconceptions about how it's "supposed" to be done?

Ignore how everyone else has solved this. Start from scratch.
