Committees plus subjective criteria leads to conservatism.

When you have subjective criteria decided by committee, when any one person says "nah" then it's over.

This leads everyone to put forth ideas that are more conservative.

Every consensus decision is more about minimizing downside than maximizing upside.

Individuals are way more likely than committees to go "I dunno, I'll have a go!".

If any individual in the swarm succeeds, it lights the way for everyone.

How can you empower a stochastic individual in a swarm to find the resonant ideas?

How can our software enable more individuals to have a go?
