Last summer when I was at the EA Hotel for TAISU I got the most value out of doing something similar. I’d host a session to “workshop” an idea I had, and it was roughly 20 minutes of setting it up and 40 minutes of back and forth with people pointing things out, stating objections, asking for clarifications, etc.. It was less structured than your approach, and I quite like this idea because it creates a level of safety my approach did not because it effectively bans the kinds of criticism (at least for the course of the conjecture workshop) that people sometimes jump to that also shut down fruitful idea development.
