### *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.
[end sys1]


Q:

cutwin, pstricks without defining the amount of lines OR how to have a small picture in the top left corner of a paragraph

I want a little image at the beginning of certain paragraphs that needs more than one line. In my case I like to have a quadratic picture needing 2 lines. So I tried to indent the 1st and 2nd line.
I have tried to solve this with a wrapfigure, but this had its own problems. Anyway, I have the most success with an approach using cutwin to define my own margins for the paragraph (see for example Text wrap with shapepar (insert image between text)).
After many tries I ended up with the following, which is nearly what I want.
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper, twocolumn, onepage]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{wrapfig}

\usepackage{cutwin}
\usepackage{pstricks}

\usepackage{lipsum}

% cut for own flavor paragraph
\opencutleft
\newcommand*{\cutcut}{%
0.92\columnwidth,
0.92\columnwidth}
\renewcommand\putstuffinpic{%
  \rput(0,-3pt){%
    \includegraphics[width=0.05\textwidth, height=0.05\textwidth]{example.png}}}

% own flavor paragraph
\newenvironment{para}[1]{
    \vspace{10pt}
    \begin{shapedcutout}{0}{2}{\cutcut} \noindent
    \textbf{#1}
    }{
    \end{shapedcutout}
    }

\begin{document}

\chapter{Title}

\section{Title}

\end{document}

However, it produces (sometimes) subtile spacing errors. In this example you can observe a wrong spacing between the 2nd and 3rd line of the second "para"-paragraph (and also in the following "para"-paragrpahs). You can observe this error in the given image. Its the paragraph that starts with "Title".
I agree that I don't use the cutwin package 100% correctly. I am supposed to define the margin of all lines and define the total number of lines. I just state a margin for the first 2 lines. However, I'd like to have a solution where I dont have to count lines manually. I am also happy with other approaches to my problem. Thanks a lot!
Edit: Concerning wrapfig / About Arash Esbati's suggestion:
Your code works. However, if I try this your code with an image in the wrapfigure, the images are moved down one line.
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,twocolumn]{report}

\end{document}

I had the same problem when I tried to use wrapfig on my own.

A:

What are the problems you are facing when you use wrapfig?  The following code works:
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,twocolumn]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{wrapfig,lipsum}

\begin{document}

\textbf{Title} \lipsum[2]

\noindent
\begin{wrapfigure}[2]{l}{20pt}
  \vspace{-1\intextsep}\rule{20pt}{20pt}
\end{wrapfigure}
\textbf{Title} \lipsum[2]

\end{document}

Edit1:
I don't see the problem with:
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,twocolumn]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{wrapfig,lipsum,calc}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\textbf{Title} \lipsum[2]

\begin{wrapfigure}[2]{l}{20pt}
  \vspace{-1\intextsep}%
  \includegraphics[height=20pt,keepaspectratio]{example-image-1x1}
\end{wrapfigure}
\noindent \textbf{Title} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing
