Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current risk assessment methods for investors are cumbersome, confusing, and time-consuming, often requiring in-person or online meetings with financial advisors, which can deter new investors from determining their risk preferences accurately.
Innovation Solution
A graphical user interface that allows investors to conduct a qualitative risk assessment through an intuitive and easy-to-understand questionnaire, using qualitative graphs and risk profiles to guide investment decisions based on riskiness of securities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional questionnaires with many unknown words are used for risk assessment, then comprehensive risk evaluation can be achieved, but the process becomes cumbersome, challenging, difficult, and confusing for investors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the risk assessment methodology by changing the parameter of question formulation from complex financial terminology to simple visual scenarios with qualitative graphs. Instead of asking investors to interpret unknown words and complex concepts, the system presents直观的 graphical representations of investment outcomes, allowing accurate risk assessment while maintaining ease of use
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses visual copies or representations of investment scenarios through qualitative graphs that depict different risk profiles. These graphical representations serve as simplified models that capture essential risk characteristics without requiring investors to understand complex financial terminology, thus resolving the contradiction between assessment accuracy and usability
2Measurement precision
If in-person or online meetings with financial advisors are conducted to determine risk preferences, then accurate risk profile determination can be achieved, but the process becomes time consuming and expensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables investors to自行 complete the risk assessment process through an automated online system that uses qualitative graphs and scenario-based questions. The system processes responses automatically to generate risk profiles without requiring advisor intervention, thereby achieving accurate assessment while eliminating the time loss associated with scheduling and conducting meetings
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of human advisor interactions with an automated computer-based system that uses graphical user interfaces and algorithmic processing. This substitution maintains assessment accuracy while dramatically reducing the time required, as the automated system can process multiple responses simultaneously without scheduling constraints
3Measurement precision
If in-person or online meetings with financial advisors are conducted to determine risk preferences, then accurate risk profile determination can be achieved, but the process becomes expensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables investors to自行 complete the risk assessment process through an automated online system that uses qualitative graphs and scenario-based questions. The system processes responses automatically to generate risk profiles without requiring advisor intervention, thereby achieving accurate assessment while eliminating the time loss associated with scheduling and conducting meetings
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces expensive human advisor services with a low-cost automated digital system. The online platform with qualitative graphs provides a scalable, inexpensive alternative that can serve unlimited investors without proportionally increasing costs, effectively reducing the energy loss associated with professional consultation fees
4Ease of operation
If new investors opt out of taking difficult risk assessment steps, then they avoid time-consuming and confusing processes, but they remain ignorant to their risk preferences and expose themselves to undesirable outcomes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of question formulation from complex financial terminology to simple visual scenarios with qualitative graphs. Instead of asking investors to interpret unknown words and complex concepts, the system presents直观的 graphical representations of investment outcomes, allowing accurate risk assessment while maintaining ease of use
Solution Approach 2:
The patent provides immediate visual feedback through qualitative graphs that show investors their risk profile results and explain what different risk levels mean for their investments. This feedback mechanism ensures investors gain understanding of their risk preferences without requiring them to navigate complex questionnaires, thus preventing information loss while maintaining simplicity
