Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for evaluating public figures and entities are often biased, partisan, and lack transparency, leading to user misinformation and frustration due to information overload and unreliable scoring metrics.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for aggregating and analyzing publicly available data and survey responses to generate a comprehensive, multi-tiered score using a database and evaluation module, which includes a scoring system that provides transparent, objective, and consistent evaluations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple rating organizations provide evaluations, then more perspectives are available, but user confusion and information overload increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation perspectivesVSAvoiduser comprehension
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple rating organizations' evaluations into a single unified rating system that aggregates data from various sources (voting records, polling data, organizational ratings) and presents them as one comprehensive candidate assessment, eliminating the need for users to separately consult multiple organizations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system serves multiple functions simultaneously: it collects data from various sources, analyzes voting records, processes polling data, aggregates organizational ratings, and generates a unified candidate evaluation, replacing the need for multiple separate rating organizations

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

2Quantity of substance

If detailed data is provided for analysis, then comprehensive information is available, but user error and misinterpretation increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation availableVSAvoiduser interpretation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing system that acts as a mediator between raw data and users. This system automatically analyzes and synthesizes detailed data from multiple sources, applying consistent evaluation criteria and generating interpreted results that users can reliably understand without directly analyzing the underlying complex data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service analysis by automatically collecting, processing, and evaluating data from multiple sources using predetermined criteria, generating ready-to-use candidate assessments without requiring users to manually analyze raw data or apply evaluation methodologies

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If partisan rating systems are used, then political advocacy is achieved, but objectivity and consistency are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepolitical advocacy capabilityVSAvoidrating objectivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different evaluation criteria to different aspects of candidate assessment (voting records use one set of criteria, polling data uses another, organizational ratings use yet another), with each data type evaluated by its own specialized methodology before being integrated into the overall assessment, ensuring objectivity while maintaining comprehensive analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

4Measurement precision

If manual data compilation is required, then detailed analysis is possible, but time consumption and user frustration increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis depthVSAvoiddata compilation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data collection, processing, and analysis before user interaction. It pre-generates candidate ratings by automatically compiling data from voting records, polling data, and organizational ratings, so users receive ready-to-view assessments without needing to manually compile or analyze raw data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
