### *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.

It was one of Donald Trump's signature campaign platforms.

At rally after rally across the country he described then-US president Barack Obama's Iran nuclear pact as "disastrous" and the "worst deal ever".

"This deal, if I win, will be a totally different deal. This will be a totally different deal," he said.

A May 12 deadline looms for him to either re-certify the arrangement as required every 90 days, or dump it, and while the latter would satisfy his supporters, he's under serious international pressure not to do it.

And now the President has brought the deadline forward, saying he will announce his decision within 24 hours.

So why does the President have such a problem with it?

The deal suspends a range of sanctions on Iran in return for limits on enrichment of uranium fuel, a freeze on nuclear weapons production, reducing the country's nuclear stockpile, and access for international inspectors.

While the International Atomic Energy Agency says Iran is complying, the President believes it's not doing so in the spirit of the agreement and fears that a 2025 sunset clause will allow weapons production to again quickly ramp up.

What if he pulls out?

Other countries who are party to the six-nation deal are pressing the President to work on fixing the problems within the arrangement, rather than dumping it altogether.

They argue that throwing the deal out now will accelerate an arms race in the Middle East.

"If they do get a nuclear weapon, you're going to get an arms race in the Middle East," UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said on Fox and Friends.

"You're going to have the Saudis wanting one, the Egyptians, the Emirates. It's already a very, very dangerous state at the moment.

"We don't want to go down that route and as I say, there doesn't seem to me at the moment to be a viable military solution."

What has Iran said?

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi has foreshadowed dire consequences if the United States does pull out of the deal.

"Quitting the nuclear deal is not an easy task and Iran's reaction toward such an action will be an unimaginable one for America, and will be very painful, which will definitely make the United States regret it," he said.

"If America pulls out of the nuclear deal, they will have to pay a very heavy price and it will be a turning point for developing mistrust in the US administration further.

"Also, world opinion about the United States will dramatically change and will get worse."

However, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani seemed to indicate that a deal could still stand without the United States.

"What we want for the deal is that it's preserved and guaranteed by the non-Americans, and then the US pull-out will be OK," he said.

"We will get rid of the mischievous element that always caused trouble. And if what we want is not fulfilled, we have our own legal and lawful path and have our own plans."

What do we know about Trump's announcement?

White House officials suggested in recent days that the President's mind was "all but made up" to exit the deal.

However, it has also been hinted that a partial exit may be an option, although how that would work has not been articulated.

It's previously been suggested that new "trigger points" could be imposed to automatically re-impose sanctions on Iran if they're breached.

The aim would be to strengthen the enforcement of the deal and to target Iran's ballistic missile program.

The President is partly motivated by Iran's support for Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad and pressure from key US ally Israel and President Benjamin Netanyahu.

Iran denies aiming to develop nuclear weapons.

What else could happen?

The deal does include a dispute resolution mechanism.

It's possible that the President could exploit it by refusing to renew the sanction waivers while allowing new Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to continue negotiations with European nations.

"We are determined to make sure it [Iran] never possesses a nuclear weapon," Mr Pompeo said during his first visit to the Middle East as Secretary of State last week.

"The Iran deal in its current form does not provide that assurance."

If the deal collapses there are major implications for international banking, oil and aviation companies that re-entered the Iranian market after crippling economic sanctions were lifted.

Several companies have already slowed their expansion awaiting a decision from the Trump administration after the President disavowed the deal last year.
