Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional non-AI feature selection techniques are used, then the system is simpler and easier to implement, but it cannot account for objective cost functions or customizable user performance criteria

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomizable performance criteriaVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system allows dynamic adjustment of performance evaluation parameters through AI algorithms that can be reconfigured based on objective cost functions and customizable user criteria. The machine learning models can adapt their feature selection and weighting based on changing organizational requirements without requiring system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The AI system automatically performs feature selection and model optimization based on the provided performance criteria and cost functions. The machine learning algorithms self-adjust to accommodate different evaluation metrics and organizational goals without manual intervention in the complex computational processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If AI algorithms are used to process employee performance data, then prediction accuracy and assessment precision improve, but data processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance assessment precisionVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes and stores employee performance data in structured formats ready for rapid AI analysis. Historical data is pre-organized in databases and data lakes, allowing machine learning models to quickly query and process information without performing time-consuming data cleaning and structuring during actual assessment operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The AI system processes only the necessary subset of performance data relevant to each specific evaluation question or prediction task, rather than analyzing all available data comprehensively. This selective processing approach maintains high precision for specific assessment goals while significantly reducing overall processing time and computational resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If performance data is stored on a blockchain system, then data security and immutability improve, but system complexity and data storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidblockchain system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments data storage by placing only critical performance metrics and evaluation results on the blockchain for immutability and security, while storing detailed performance data, metadata, and processing information in traditional databases. This hybrid approach maintains data security for essential records without requiring all data to be stored on the complex blockchain infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The blockchain serves as an intermediary layer that provides cryptographic verification and immutability for performance evaluation records, while traditional database systems handle the bulk data storage and retrieval operations. This intermediary architecture combines the security benefits of blockchain with the simplicity and scalability of conventional databases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Object-generated harmful factors

If decentralized AI networks are used, then bias minimization and objectivity improve, but system complexity and network requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation biasVSAvoiddecentralized network complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The AI processing workload is segmented and distributed across multiple decentralized nodes in the network, with each node performing specific computational tasks. This distribution prevents single-point control and bias while maintaining system functionality. The segmentation of computational tasks reduces the complexity burden on any single node while achieving the benefits of decentralized, objective evaluation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
