You do not need an hour of setup. You need a rough draft and ten seconds for Analyze on Free.
Idea Bank comes later, when you upgrade to Pro and work the full six-step path.

Analyze
free · working email
First hour (Free)
Analyze: paste ugly notes at /onboarding/analyze. Read which step, gaps, one action.
Do that action: calls, one-page offer sketch, or a dated kill/park note. Not another tool.
Decide: if you will work the full path in Idea Bank, join Pro waitlist. If not, keep using Analyze on other drafts.
First week on Free
Run Analyze on Monday. Buyer conversations Tue–Wed. Run Analyze again Friday, did the step move?
You are proving the read with reality, not decorating Idea Bank you do not have yet.
When you have Pro
Open Idea Bank for the idea you committed to. Work worksheets for the current step. Use Brainstorm only when one worksheet is stuck.
Mistakes
Assuming Free includes Idea Bank.
Banking the idea before Pro.
Brainstorm instead of the action from your last Analyze run.
