Solution Overview

Problem

Existing decision-making methods rely on a single advisor or a group of experts, limiting the quality and efficiency of decision-making processes, as individuals often seek multiple opinions but struggle to integrate and interpret diverse inputs effectively.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that facilitates collaboration between multiple advisors and experts through a cloud-based platform, enabling efficient collection and consolidation of inputs using quantitative algorithms to generate decision reports and summaries, allowing users to select the best option.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple advisors are engaged to provide diverse opinions, then decision quality is improved, but the complexity of integrating and interpreting diverse inputs increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedecision qualityVSAvoidintegration complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces a digital platform as an intermediary that mediates between multiple advisors and the decision maker. This platform collects, organizes, and presents diverse advisor inputs in a standardized format, reducing the cognitive load on the decision maker while maintaining the benefits of multiple perspectives.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of synthesizing multiple advisor opinions with an automated algorithmic system. The system uses computational methods to aggregate, weight, and present advisor inputs, substituting human cognitive processing with automated processing mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If multiple experts are consulted for important decisions, then the veracity of decision analysis is improved, but the time required to collect and process inputs increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveveracity of decision analysisVSAvoidtime to collect and process inputs

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing decision frameworks, criteria weights, and input templates before expert consultations begin. This preparation enables structured and efficient data collection during the expert engagement phase, reducing overall processing time while maintaining analysis veracity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The platform enables continuous input collection from multiple advisors simultaneously rather than sequentially. The system maintains continuous processing of advisor inputs and provides real-time aggregation results, eliminating idle time between consultation phases and maintaining productive action throughout the decision-making process.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Ease of operation

If a single consulting firm is engaged to provide comprehensive advice, then the ease of operation is improved, but the adaptability to specific decision criteria is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of accessing adviceVSAvoidadaptability to decision criteria

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the consulting service into independent, specialized advisor roles rather than a monolithic firm. Each advisor can be selectively engaged based on specific decision criteria, allowing flexible configuration of expertise combinations while maintaining user-friendly access through a unified platform interface.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The digital platform serves as a universal interface that handles multiple functions: collecting inputs from diverse advisors, standardizing their responses, weighting them according to decision criteria, and presenting synthesized recommendations. This multi-functional system maintains ease of operation while enabling high adaptability to specific decision requirements.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A system and computer implemented method to aid a user in making an informed decision by a user from one or more decision alternatives. The system and method generally is provided within an application hosted on an electronic device though companion applications in the form of a user portal and advisor/expert portal. Accordingly, users are able to solicit an advisor/expert for counsel on a various decision though the input of criteria related to the decision, wherein the application will control correspondence between the parties and provide quantitative and qualitative tools to aid in the user's analysis. The software can be hosted on a server and designed to enable effective communication between a user and one or more advisors. An artificial intelligence module can additionally provide decision alternatives based upon prior advisor feedback and analysis and user inputs.
