Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional data evaluation methodologies are used, then complete understanding of data and specific objectives are required, but this limits the ability to provide actionable analytics across multiple business objectives

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to evaluate datasets across multiple objectivesVSAvoidcomplexity of data evaluation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides data evaluation into separate modular components: data ingestion module, data wrangling module, data enrichment module, and signal detection module. Each module handles a specific aspect of data processing independently, allowing the system to evaluate diverse datasets across multiple business objectives without requiring complete understanding of each dataset's structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs universal data structures and standardized interfaces that enable the same evaluation framework to handle multiple types of datasets and business objectives. The signal detection module can identify patterns across different data types using common algorithms, making the system versatile for various analytical purposes without requiring objective-specific customization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

One or more datasets are received by a data wrangling module and wrangled into a form that is computationally actionable by a user. At least some data from the one or more datasets are enriched by one or more data enrichment modules to generate an enriched form of at least some data corresponding to the one or more datasets that is computationally actionable by the user. The one or more datasets and the enriched form of the at least some data are processed by a signal detection module to identify relationships, anomalies, and/or patterns within the one or more datasets.
