A discrete instance in which an AI response triggers a new, unanticipated idea in the user, where the value lies in the thought it provokes rather than the answer itself. It marks an observable user-reported insight moment.
EVENT. Counted once per turn or think-aloud segment in which the user reports that a response prompted a new idea of their own ('that gives me an idea', 'that made me think of...'). Mere acceptance or use of the answer without a new idea is excluded.
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Rater-coded count of user-reported insight-trigger turns per session; two coders, Cohen's kappa on the insight-vs-no-insight decision; rate per 100 user turns. Self-report corroboration via a per-session 'new ideas sparked' tally.
