Solution Overview

Problem

Current wealth management tools inadequately address the uncertainty and lack of control that wealth management clients experience regarding their financial assets and their growth, failing to provide effective management and communication of financial information.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented wealth management system with a user-friendly interface that allows clients to view multiple financial accounts in a consolidated manner, offering analytical tools such as asset allocation, income analysis, performance comparison, and Net Worth calculations, along with a collaborative interface for client-advisor interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If wealth management tools provide comprehensive financial information, then client control and satisfaction improve, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclient controlVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments financial information into distinct analytical modules including income analysis, asset allocation, performance comparison, and Net Worth calculations. Each module processes specific aspects of financial data independently, allowing comprehensive analysis while maintaining manageable system architecture through functional decomposition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces analytical tools as intermediary components between raw financial data and client interpretation. These tools automatically process complex financial information and present it in simplified formats, reducing the complexity burden on clients while maintaining comprehensive analysis capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If wealth management tools provide detailed analytical capabilities, then uncertainty reduction improves, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuncertainty reductionVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service analytical tools that automatically calculate and present financial metrics without requiring client expertise. Clients simply input their financial data, and the system autonomously performs income analysis, asset allocation assessment, performance comparison, and Net Worth calculations, reducing uncertainty while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual financial analysis with automated computational tools. Complex calculations for income analysis, performance metrics, and asset allocation are performed automatically by the system rather than requiring manual computation by clients, thereby reducing uncertainty without increasing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Loss of information

If wealth management tools consolidate multiple accounts, then information clarity improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation clarityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple financial accounts into a consolidated view that presents unified financial information. Clients can view their portfolio, cash accounts, and other financial assets in a single integrated interface, improving information clarity while the system handles the complexity of data integration and consolidation automatically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
