Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for analyzing organizational sub-entities often fail to account for inter-unit influences, leading to solutions that are poorly tailored and costly, with multiple assessment tools requiring excessive computing and network resources and duplicative tasks.

Innovation Solution

An analytics toolkit system that integrates multiple assessment tools into a single package, providing an end-to-end assessment via a unified user interface, utilizing machine learning and natural language processing to analyze organizational data and generate cross-unit response actions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple separate assessment tools are used to analyze different sub-entities, then each sub-entity can be assessed individually, but the system complexity increases and inter-unit influences are not accounted for

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassessment accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple separate assessment tools into a single integrated assessment system that can evaluate multiple sub-entities simultaneously. The system includes a unified user interface that presents prompts across different sub-entities and processes responses through a single analysis engine, thereby reducing system complexity while maintaining comprehensive assessment capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The integrated assessment system is designed to perform multiple assessment functions through a single tool. It can assess various sub-entities (e.g., finance unit, contracting unit, technology unit) using the same platform, eliminating the need for separate specialized tools for each sub-entity while still capturing inter-unit influences.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple separate assessment tools are used, then comprehensive coverage is achieved, but resource utilization increases due to duplicative tasks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassessment coverageVSAvoidcomputing resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple assessment tools into one integrated platform that shares common infrastructure including data storage, processing logic, and user interface components. This eliminates duplicative tasks across separate tools and reduces computing resource utilization while maintaining the ability to assess multiple sub-entities comprehensively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of operation

If separate tools focus on single portions, then tool simplicity is maintained, but solutions fail to account for inter-unit influences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetool simplicityVSAvoidsolution accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The integrated assessment system maintains ease of operation through a unified user interface that presents a coherent set of prompts and collects responses in a standardized manner. Despite its multi-functional capability to assess multiple sub-entities, the system remains simple to operate because it uses consistent interaction patterns across all sub-entities and automatically processes inter-unit influences.

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

AI summary

A device may communicate with a client device to provide, via a user interface of the client device, a set of prompts regarding an entity. The device may detect one or more user interactions with the user interface associated with indicating a set of responses to the set of prompts. The device may process data identifying the set of responses to the set of prompts to generate a set of scores for a set of recommendations based on processing the data identifying the set of responses to the set of prompts. The device may determine a ranking of the set of recommendations based on the set of scores. The device may select one or the set of recommendations based on the ranking. The device may communicate with the client device to provide information associated with the set of recommendations based on selecting the set of recommendations.
