Tamsen Webster explains how to test whether an idea actually works: pause and ask "why would that work?" Then try explaining it to someone else using concepts they already know. If you can't make it clear, the idea has holes.
stop for a moment and ask, why would that work? If you're trying to test your own idea and make sure it'll stand up to scrutiny, have somebody else ask you and explain that to somebody else in language and concepts they already know and already understand. Why would that work is for those ideas that are about we should do X or we should take Y action to achieve whatever outcome.
