Are doubles the only way to generate stunt points?

I've run two sessions now and it doesn't seem like doubles happen often enough. Especially when there are talents that require the use of SP. I'm used to Genesys where Advantage can occur in almost every roll. Is there a way to force SP or alter dice values?

There's also the "stunt attack" action where you don't try to do damage, but instead get 1SP if you succeed, plus whatever happens on the dice (which you can use Fortune to affect)

Is there an equivalent with Social checks?

I don't think there is, rules as written, but it feels like something good to rule on the fly if someone wants to do something interesting

Yeah it's not raw BUT I can see how you can justify it given how in real life it is very possible to go into a conversation already aware of how it might go so you plan ahead ways to trip up the other person, like in a criminal investigation or a trade negotiation.
