A sound idea is a form of energy.
It can not be destroyed.
It evolves from inspiration, to a function of preparation, then determination - till the ideator's dream becomes actualized in real life
At the very least, success is a second iteration of the original, unscripted Idea
So your idea refinement process needs to be test-driven
Test
Determine on time if investment in terms of effort and time is worth it
Work Smart
Fail early, fail often,
Success lies on the paths yet to be treaded,
Open your mind,
Think Disruption,
Be Flexible
Be AGILE

I think this is an idea worth sharing
