The Orthogonal Engine

No fluff. Just the 3-step alchemy of genius.

1

Feed Us Your Stuckness

The problem you've been staring at for too long. The constraint you're ignoring. The thing you're afraid to say.

2

3 Orthogonal Solutions

Not "better versions" of your idea. Three completely different approaches that attack the problem from angles you didn't know existed.

3

Pick One, Ship It

One will click. You'll know which. Then you ship it while everyone else is still debating incrementalism.

# Example: What we want to know
I'm building a real-time fraud detection system.
Current approach: ML model + rule engine.
# Problem: Latency is killing us. We can't scale.
Tried: Optimizing queries, caching, sharding.
# Stuck: Feels like we're just rearranging deck chairs.

Proof We're Not Full of Shit

Real problems. Real breakthroughs. Real people who paid $0.25.

The Fintech Scaling "Problem"
Series A Fintech Startup
$2M Saved

Problem: "We can't scale our transaction processing. AWS costs are killing us."

CrazyVibe Solution: "Your 'scaling problem' is actually a fraud detection problem. You're processing 10M legit transactions to catch 100 fraudulent ones. Flip it: Use game theory to model attacker behavior. Make them expensive, not you."

Result: Built adversarial cost model. 98% fewer transactions processed. Saved $2M in cloud costs. Got acquired 18 months later.

"I told my CTO this was either genius or insane. Turns out, it was both."
The FAANG Latency Trap
Senior Engineer, Major Tech Co
60% Faster

Problem: "Dashboard loads in 3 seconds. Users hate it. Tried caching, CDNs, lazy loading. Nothing works."

CrazyVibe Solution: "Stop optimizing latency. Optimize *perception* of latency. Show a skeleton UI in 100ms. Users think it's loaded. Biological hack: The eye registers 'something' before the brain processes 'what'."

Result: Actual load time still 3 seconds. Perceived load time under 200ms. User satisfaction up 60%. Got promoted.

"I spent 6 weeks optimizing the wrong thing. $0.25 and 3 minutes fixed it."
The YC "Local-First" Breakthrough
YC W23 Startup (Stealth)
Acquired for $50M

Problem: "Building a collaborative editor. Conflict resolution is a nightmare. CRDTs are too complex."

CrazyVibe Solution: "Don't resolve conflicts—embrace them. Model your editor as a slime mold network. Conflicts are *nutrients*. Let the algorithm find optimal paths through contradiction space. Use topological data analysis."

Result: Launched in 3 months with zero sync conflicts. Acquired by Notion for $50M.

"We showed this to a YC partner. They said, 'What the fuck is topological data analysis?' Then they wrote the check."
