These are both kind of like brainstorming tools, ways of thinking about ideas. Your tool encourages one to aggrandise an idea, which can be useful. This encourages trivialisation an idea, which can be useful too. I think doing both at the same time is a sort of essential entrepreneurial doublethink.
Ideas, products, inventions and such are surprisingly (very surprisingly, to me) hard to place on that Yudkowski Ambition Scale. The line between trivial and revolutionary is surprisingly blurry.
I think one could argue or tweak several of these to be in the 2-5/6 range. At least they could to the extent that they can be argue to be a 1.
1. Get a blood test simply, myself, without going to a lab, and get the results overnight.
If you extend this past just bloods, combine this with DIY diagnostics tools, 23andme, items 5, 16, 31... I'm sure you can arrive at a sort of preventative medicine something something new paradigm. A Yudkowski 3?
2. Build a house myself using standard small interchangeable parts like legos.
Revolutionize town and cityscapes, quarter the cost of our single biggest purchase.... Yudkowski 3, I think.
Even Yudkowski's 1 & 2 could arguably be 3-5s.
