title_body: Why are proposals to solve issues discouraged during the insights phase (first week)? The insights phase is held during the first week of a proposal round. You cannot put proposals up.  Only insights can be added.
  Insights are described as ideas and submitters are encouraged not to propose solutions.  At the end of the first week.  Everybody's Insights are archived and only their author can see them.
upvoted_answer: The Catalyst Team identified research that showed an &quot;ideation&quot; phase where participants shared their observations and experiences without proposing solutions led to better results when proposals/solutions were put forwards.
  Catalyst has translated this research into their &quot;insights&quot; phase process.
