- Five on Five = If more than five teams in the world are doing the same research, don’t do it. = If you disappear for five years, will someone do it anyway? Then your idea is not that great anyway. = Can you explain your work in five sentences to your grandma how it will impact human life? = If you can explain the idea in five minutes to a student and disappear for five years, will s/he be able to do it on her/his own without additional input from you/without iterations .. It is too obvious and lacks depth .. Don’t do it. = Strive to work on ideas that may require five+ disciplines ..
