### *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.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif. pauses while speaking with reporters outside the White House in Washington, Wednesday, March 22, 2017, following a meeting with President Donald Trump. AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais The revelation that the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes, was on White House grounds the day before he briefed President Donald Trump on documents related to surveillance of his transition team has fueled speculation that the White House itself was Nunes' source.

Nunes, who was a member of Trump's transition team, told Fox on Tuesday afternoon that he would "never reveal" the source of the classified documents he obtained, not even to other members of the House Intelligence Committee.

Nunes on Monday said he had gone to the White House last week to view the documents because Congress didn't have "networked access" to those reports.

His spokesman later told Business Insider that Nunes had been there to view the documents in a secure compartmented information facility, or SCIF, to "safeguard the proper chain of custody and classification of these documents," but did not respond when asked why an executive branch source would not go directly to Trump, instead of to Nunes, with documents they found suspicious.

Nunes has insisted that no one from the Trump administration knew he was on White House grounds being briefed on the documents. But national-security experts, Republican and Democratic members of Congress, and White House reporters have said it is highly unlikely Nunes could have gone unnoticed on White House grounds.

"This is insane," Juliette Kayyem, a CNN national-security analyst and former official at the Department of Homeland Security, told Business Insider on Monday. "You only go to the White House to get briefed by the White House. It's not a meeting point like a McDonald's off the turnpike."

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, echoed Kayyem's assessment on Tuesday morning. The White House "is not an internet café," Swalwell told MSNBC. "You can't just walk in and receive classified information."

Swalwell also wondered why Nunes couldn't have viewed the documents inside an SCIF at the Capitol after consulting with his fellow committee members.

"If this was done the proper way, they could have brought it over, shared it with both parties of the committee," he said, referencing what he said was the bipartisan nature by which intelligence-committee investigations are typically conducted.

If you're a member of Congress visiting the White House, "everyone in the building knows that you're there in the building," Swalwell said. "This is what a cover-up to a crime looks like."

"None of us, Democrat or Republican, on the Senate Intelligence Committee still has any idea what [Nunes is] talking about," Sen. Mark Warner, the committee's ranking Democrat, told reporters on Tuesday. "I don't believe, frankly, the members, Republican or Democrat, on the House committee do either."

"To come onto these grounds at the White House, you must be authorized," Jeff Zeleny, CNN's senior White House correspondent, said on Tuesday. "Someone invited him in, cleared him in, escorted him in. This White House has made the decision to not say who that was."

Republican Sen. John McCain agreed that Nunes' move was unusual.

"I've been around for quite a while, and I've never heard of any such thing," he said on Tuesday morning on CBS.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer said on Tuesday that while he didn't know who Nunes spoke to, any conversations the congressman had with a source — assuming that person had security clearance — were "100% legal" and "completely appropriate."

The day after he went to the White House, Nunes announced in an unexpected press conference that the president and his advisers may have had their communications "incidentally collected" by the intelligence community during the transition period.

Nunes said the reports he had seen had nothing to do with Russia, which is why he felt comfortable briefing Trump on the matter without first informing the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff.

Schiff joined a growing chorus of Democrats calling for Nunes to recuse himself from the committee's investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia, saying in a statement that "none of the committee members — Democrats or Republicans — has seen the relevant documents, now almost a week later."

"There was no legitimate justification for bringing that information to the White House instead of the committee," Schiff added. "That it also obtained at the White House makes this departure all the more concerning."
