Ideometrics: a scientific approach to generating, evaluating, and prioritising ideas

Area of Science:

• Ideometrics as an emerging scientific discipline.
• Integrative framework for idea generation, evaluation, and prioritization.

Background:

• Introduces ideometrics, a novel scientific approach.
• Builds on concepts of 'sense of ideas' and 'value of information'.

Purpose of the Study:

• To map and integrate diverse methodological approaches to idea management.
• Establish ideometrics as a rigorous and practical scientific field.

Main Methods:

• Identified and mapped over 70 methodological approaches across disciplines.
• Developed an empirical scientific framework for integration.
• Proposed steps for establishing ideometrics as a rigorous science.

Main Results:

• Identified >70 distinct methodological approaches to idea management.
• Demonstrated ideometrics' falsifiability and potential for testable predictions.
• Highlighted the evolution of ideometrics methods towards standardization and mathematical rigor, incorporating AI.

Conclusions:

• Ideometrics aims to systematically unify scientific approaches to idea management.
• Future progress will enhance quantitative, digital, testable, and replicable aspects.
• Practical applications include optimizing resource allocation towards high-potential ideas through objective assessment.
