It works best when you need to add emotional weight to existing principles. The goal? A manifesto that resonates with both logic and emotion. Be warned: a hollow manifesto breeds cynicism. Expect creative energy and intense focus on wording. You'll know it's working when people eagerly share the manifesto.
