I jot down my notes in a google doc and paste links that I want to save. If I really like an idea, I'll use these notes to write out a larger form memo that touches on GTM, product strategies, tech stacks, competition, etc.

Yeah that would be incredibly useful for testing policy in a simulated environment before releasing into the wild :) One of the hardest challenges is "How do we choose realistic parameters for how the virus spreads? Infection duration?
