I love how Ryan Singer explains how to show progress in Shape Up chapter 13. "Every piece of work has two phases. First there’s the uphill phase of figuring out what our approach is and what we’re going to do. Then, once we can see all the work involved, there’s the downhill phase of execution." That seems similar to the exploration and execution phases you describe.

Have you ever read Lateral Thinking by Edward DeBono? Probably the best creative book I read as I realized in my 30 plus years of entrepreneural ventures and investing my best ideas came from observing something in one area and then realizing it could be used just as well in others..worth the read....
