The idea itself is free – but getting into the state to have ideas costs time and effort.

Except, to have value you’re forced to work them into a fitting shape. Ideas don’t pop out fully formed, they’re always only part way there. They demand polishing and reworking and recombining and finessing and tearing down and starting again-ing-ing-ing.
The idea itself is free – there’s just more to them than the idea itself.
So, ideas are free-ish.
Their value though … how they work.
