Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional external judgment based performance evaluation is used, then performance assessment can be conducted, but subjectivity and lack of objectivity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables employees to self-assess their performance against predefined objectives and key results, eliminating subjectivity from external judgments. Employees input their own performance data and receive automated evaluations based on objective criteria, ensuring consistent and unbiased assessment while maintaining employee autonomy over their performance narratives.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual, subjective evaluation processes with an automated computer-based system that uses algorithms to assess performance. The system automatically compares employee inputs against predefined objectives, calculates performance scores, and generates evaluations, eliminating human bias and ensuring consistent, reproducible results across all employees.
2Adaptability or versatility
If rigid prescriptive methods are used for talent management, then compliance with predefined roles is ensured, but employee engagement and adaptability decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from static, rigid job descriptions to dynamic performance objectives that can be adjusted based on organizational needs and individual capabilities. Employees can set their own performance targets within guidelines, and the system allows real-time modification of objectives, creating a flexible framework that adapts to changing circumstances while maintaining alignment with organizational strategy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables continuous adjustment of performance parameters and objectives rather than relying on fixed prescriptive methods. The system allows modification of key results, weights, and evaluation criteria based on evolving business priorities, ensuring the performance management process remains relevant and engaging while maintaining structural integrity.
3Ease of operation
If top-down assessments are used for participative performance evaluation, then management control is maintained, but employee motivation and engagement decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The system inverts the traditional top-down evaluation approach by enabling employees to assess themselves first. Employees input their performance data, set their own objectives, and generate self-evaluations, which are then reviewed and validated by managers. This reversal empowers employees with ownership of their performance narratives while maintaining managerial oversight and alignment with organizational goals.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements continuous feedback loops where employees receive automated feedback on their performance against predefined objectives, and managers provide structured feedback on employee self-assessments. This multi-directional feedback mechanism ensures both employee engagement and evaluation effectiveness by creating ongoing dialogue about performance improvement rather than relying on annual top-down assessments.
4Adaptability or versatility
If cloud systems are made accessible to multiple devices, then system versatility improves, but security vulnerabilities increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces a centralized authentication server as an intermediary between users and the performance management platform. This server validates user credentials, manages session tokens, and controls access rights before allowing device access to the system. The intermediary layer isolates security risks at the authentication point while maintaining broad device accessibility, preventing direct exposure of core system vulnerabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs security validation and device verification before allowing access to the performance management platform. Users must undergo authentication, device enrollment, and permission verification in advance before accessing the system. This preliminary security check ensures that only authorized devices and users can access the platform, preventing security breaches before they occur while maintaining system accessibility for approved users.

AI summary
A system for applying performance management includes a supervisory computer for allowing a manager to document an organization mission, vision, strategic objectives, expected behavior, and systemic performance indicators. The system includes at least one management computer in communication with the supervisory computer with a management application for allowing the manager to convey the organization mission, the organization vision, the organization strategic objectives, the organization expected behaviors, and the organization systemic performance indicators to at least one employee. The system includes at least one employee computer in communication with the supervisory computer with an employee application for guiding the employee to assemble systemic performance indicators data, provide a review of the systemic performance indicators, analyze the Systemic Performance Indicators, document the review of the Systemic Performance Indicators and identify and document suggested corrective actions for Systemic Performance Indicators that are not in compliance with agreed to Systemic Performance Indicators.
