Q: Another Doubt Regarding Brocard's Problem, Specifically about Where I Can Proceed after Prime Factorisation

SpectreI know this can draw downvotes as it's not a complete solution or sounds more like an opinion poll (or perhaps this must have appeared elsewhere, in which case you're free to let me know), but I would like to seek your help regrading this topic. I decided to continue working on Brocard's problem ...

That's also conjectures. Aren't these 3 the same thing?

@ArcticChar I would expect open-problem to be used for something which is a well-known open problem, while conjectures could be used for something I made up (e.g., based on numerical evidence by checking all primes up to a large N), but cannot prove.
But I do not claim that these two tags are actually used in this way, this is just my understanding (i.e., how I would use them).
Of course, they are both meta tags - such tags are considered problematic, but some of them are still kept.
Sorry for the double ping (caused by me correcting a typo).
And I will certainly admit that the tag-excerpt and tag-wiki for conjectures looks more like another tag for open-problem (as opposed to my interpretation described above).
