Internet
web server based method /
system for providing confidential, moderated, crowdsourced problem solving resources to solve various problems. A crowdsource
database of various skilled individuals interested in acting as problem solvers and team facilitators is provided, along with a
database of
client proposed problems, divided into non-confidential and confidential
problem statement sections, key skills needed, and other criteria. These criteria are used as an index to the crowdsource
database, and potential matches found. An administrator uses a
server provided
dashboard GUI, and the non-confidential problem statements, to pick among the various proposed matches, determine interest, and form small facilitator moderated teams. After suitable NDA, the confidential
problem statement is revealed, and the teams interact confidentially with the
client through the
server. Facilitator moderation, problem restatement, and other methods reduce burden on the
client and improve solution quality.
Client accepted solutions, optionally after team release of IP, result in team member
payment.
