Pick two concepts. The engine below produces six structural combinations — analogy, application, opposite, hybrid, constraint, bridge. Most will be useless. One or two will not be.

Analogy
Evolution as Market: what if the structure of evolution were applied to a problem usually framed as market? Treat evolution as the metaphor and market as the territory.
Apply
Evolution for Market: borrow evolution's working mechanism, deploy it inside market's domain. Where in market is the friction that evolution would dissolve?
Invert
Anti-Evolution × Market: what would the inversion of evolution do to market? Strip the assumption evolution carries and watch market reorganize.
Hybrid
Evolution-Market: a true chimera. Half the substrate of evolution, half the operating logic of market. The interesting question is what they share that lets the graft take.
Constraint
Evolution under Market: what does evolution look like when it must obey the constraints of market? The constraint usually reveals the essence.
Bridge
Find the shortest path from evolution to market through one shared third concept. Ask: what minimal abstraction sits beneath both?
