Abstract
Description
Technical area
[0001] The invention relates to a technical system for the automated evaluation and visualization of decision options in organizations. The system is designed to integrate input data from multiple sources, weight them along freely definable dimensions (e.g., tactical, operational, strategic - TOS), and display the results in an interactive user interface. State of the art
[0002] Existing decision support systems are often limited to one-dimensional indicators or static representations. Existing visualization approaches do not offer a combined option for interactively displaying usable areas, target points, and distance metrics while integrating external data sources. Description of the invention
[0003] The invention provides a system that enables the multidimensional evaluation of decision options in a TOS coordinate system (Tactical, Operational, Strategy).
[0004] The system includes: 1. Input and data integration module ◯ Recording of evaluation parameters in matrix form ◯ Possibility to set variable maximum values per dimension ◯ Referencing external documents (e.g. project descriptions, business goals documents) ◯ Automated inclusion of these documents in the assessment 2. Calculation module ◯ Determination of an ideal target point (TOS) in the multidimensional coordinate system ◯ Calculation of Euclidean distances of each decision option to the target point ◯ Calculation of the Integrated Benefit Index (IBX) as a measure of aggregate benefit and cost / benefit ratios (e.g. benefit-to-effort ratio) ◯ Possibility of variable weighting per dimension ◯ Consideration of heuristic or learning-based threshold logics ◯ Conducting Pareto analyses to identify particularly effective decision options 3. Strategy lenses and KPI bundling ◯ Optional function for automated KPI bundling via predefined strategic perspectives (“Strategic Lenses”) ◯ Automatic pre-selection of suitable key performance indicator combinations (KPIs) for different management objectives (e.g. profitability, portfolio balance, target compliance, prioritization of effective projects) ◯ Pre-selection is based on a predefined heuristic; suggested KPIs can be adjusted or supplemented at any time ◯ Extension of decision support to include methodological guidance; support of Pareto analyses and acceleration of complex portfolio valuations 4. Visualization module ◯ Interactive 2D or 3D representation of all decision options in the TOS coordinate system ◯ Visualization of usable areas and distance indicators in real time ◯ Dynamic color and dropline logic to highlight critical values ◯ Cluster visualization using K-Means / machine learning algorithm ◯ Filter and zoom functions 5. Interface module ◯ Integration of external systems and data sources ◯ Connection of external AI models that provide additional scoring or classification logic Technical effect
[0005] The system enables the display of complex, multidimensional valuation data in real time, making decision options immediately comparable. The combination of variable scaling, document referencing, geometric distance calculation, Pareto analyses, IBX calculation, and interactive visualization creates a novel decision support system and significantly accelerates the execution of complex portfolio analyses through automated KPI bundling. Advantages of the invention • Combined input, calculation and visualization unit • Flexible, user-defined weighting of the evaluation dimensions, including the cost / benefit ratio • Real-time visualization including clustering • Extensibility through AI interfaces and document integration • Automated KPI bundling via strategy lenses for methodological orientation and acceleration of complex portfolio evaluations • Integrated Pareto analyses for the focused selection of particularly effective decision options
