The pattern form is useful for describing proven solutions but it can also be used for *brainstorming new solutions* where patterns are not yet established. This is because the anatomy of a pattern provides a framework for thinking about a problem in a structured manner. You could also create a *donut pattern* (filling in the problem, context, forces, and resulting context fields but leaving the solution blank) as a way of asking the InnerSource Commons community for help (to find a proven solution or to brainstorm things to try).
