### *Example Input Text:*

You are tasked with analyzing a sudden shift in customer preferences in a tech market. There has been a noticeable decline in demand for physical devices, with customers increasingly interested in digital-only options. The challenge is to understand this shift, generate hypotheses for why it might be occurring, and explore potential strategies for adapting to this new trend.

---

### *Processed Output with System 1 and System 2 Thinking:*

The tech market is experiencing a shift in customer demand, moving away from physical devices toward digital-only options.

[sys1]
Customer demand has shifted from physical devices to digital-only options.
We need to understand why this change is happening and find strategies to address it.
Key factors may include cost, convenience, and technological trends.
[end sys1]

[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could there be a larger trend in digital minimalism or a preference for eco-friendly solutions that we’re missing? What unseen motivations might explain this shift?"

**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
There are multiple possible factors driving this shift, from economic influences to cultural shifts. It’s essential to isolate each factor and understand its impact.

*Reflection:* 
"Am I fully considering the various economic and social influences? Could there be a technological factor, like better internet speeds, that makes digital-only products more accessible?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Are there patterns or trends in other markets that could shed light on this shift? Could this be part of a larger trend toward virtual experiences?"

**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**
1. Customers prefer digital options due to lower costs. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.4)
2. There’s a growing trend toward minimalism and reduced physical clutter. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.7)
3. Digital products offer greater flexibility and ease of use. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)
4. Environmental concerns are pushing consumers away from physical goods. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.8)
5. Advances in tech make digital-only options more functional. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.5)
6. Pandemic-era remote work increased demand for digital solutions. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.6)
7. Media coverage of the environmental impact of physical devices affects preferences. (Confidence: 0.5, Creative: 0.7)
8. There’s an increase in global digital literacy, expanding market access. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)
9. Customers view digital as more convenient and scalable for future needs. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.5)
10. Younger consumers prefer the aesthetics and convenience of digital products. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)

*Reflection:* 
"Have I considered all possible influences? Are there any surprising factors that could explain this shift?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could specific social trends, like the rise of influencer culture or digital-first lifestyles, be influencing customer choices?"

**2.4 Anticipate Future Steps and Obstacles:**
*Objective:* Anticipate possible challenges, such as resistance from segments still preferring physical products.

*Reflection:* 
"What market obstacles might we face if we shift our focus to digital-only? Are there sub-segments that still prioritize physical products?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could expanding digital options help us reach a more global audience? Are there emerging trends that we could leverage in our strategy?"

[end sys2]

[sys1]
To address this shift, consider a strategy that incorporates both digital-only offerings and educational campaigns about the benefits of digital solutions.
Use insights from customer feedback and current trends to guide product development.
Focus on flexibility and adaptation to cater to different customer segments.

Once
you have the corners of your foundation squared and your string
set, you will need to set your outer and inner form boards.
You will need to make sure that these boards are level from
side to side and front to rear. Always start forming from
the high side to the low side.

Your form boards need to be strong enough to withstand the
pressure of 3500-PSI concrete. We highly recommend using 2
x 10's for the outer batter boards. Forming the keyway is
the key element to having a level foundation. You can make
the trough using materials that can be bought at a local building
supply. You want to make your key way form using (example
2 x 4 x10, wood screws, and ½" plywood). First turn your 2
x 4 x 10's up on the edge separating them so that they are
9 ½" apart.

Second, take a piece of ½" plywood 9" wide x 10' long and
attach it to the bottom and top using wood screws. (See illustration,
Picture 4)

Third, take 2 x 4 x 24" and attach to the top of the formed
box in 3 locations 9-10" in from each end and one in the middle.
Allow for 5" to outside form and 3 ½" to inside form. This
will support your box by hanging it the same level as the
top of the batter boards. (See illustration , Picture 4 and
5)

Note: By making plywood
approximately 1" narrower than 2-2 x 4", this will keep the
concrete from getting caught on top of the plywood and holding
the plywood in the concrete. Make as many of these trough
forms as necessary to go from one end to the other of your
foundation. Set the trough forms on the outer and inner form
boards and attach, using wood screws. (Remember the pressure
from the concrete is very strong so you will need to make
sure that it is secured to batter boards or it will push up
when pouring concrete.

To form End wall step down (Illustration B, overall and photo)

First, place your outer form batter boards level from side
to side. The distance between them will be 12". (Note: If
you have a sliding door system you will need to extent the
total distance to 18".

Second, Run 2 x 4 x 10's across from side to side using perpendicular
bracing to support from top of batter boards, allowing a 2"
space between 2 x 4 x 10's and inner batter boards. (See illustration.)

The important dimensions from one end to the other are noted
here according to which package that you have. If you have
a building with no ends your total length will be the building
length (# of arches x 24 + 5") (See Illustration)

If your building has one steel end wall and the other end
is open your total length will be the total length the building
(# of arches x 24" + 11") Note: If you have a sliding door
add 8" to step for door system to be grouted in or a graded
slope. (See illustration)

If your building has 2 steel end walls your total length will
be the total length of the building (# of arches x 24" +18")
Note: If you have sliding doors, add 8" to the step for each
side with door systems. This will allow the door system to
be grouted in on a graded slope. (See illustration)

After setting forms, pour concrete on sides first and then
the ends. You may need to thin your concrete by adding a little
water, which will allow the concrete to flow into the forms.
Pour concrete on sides shaking the concrete down to remove
any air bubbles, which will cause honeycombing or pockets
in your footer. Next pour concrete on ends up to the bottom
of the 2 x 4's that is used for the step down.

Shake well to remove air bubbles. Now take a shovel or bucket
and fill in between the 2 x 4's and inner batter boards. (See
Illustration to form step up.)

Scrape off the top of the concrete to level at the top of
the batter boards. Finish with a finish trowel and broom finish
for buildings that need to be grouted and stick finish for
buildings that are not grouted.

If you are using C-channel or industrial arch connector first
set up forming batter boards allowing 10" between them. Do
this for each side and also each end that is going to have
steel ends. Be sure to make them level and square. The outside
width dimensions of your footer for C-channel and industrial
arch connector will always be the exact width of your building
+ 5". (Foundation example)

The length of your footer will have the total length of your
building + 5". (Note: If you are using a sliding door system
you will want to form an additional step down to allow for
the sliding door to put the track on. (See Illustration)

Actual dimensions are determined by blueprints and local building
codes, please reference blueprints and check with a building
inspector before forming concrete.
