Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wealth management systems face challenges such as manual-intensive processes, high failure rates, lack of visibility and control, and sub-optimal long-term support, leading to delays and attrition in client engagement and plan performance tracking.

Innovation Solution

A wealth management platform with an access initialization circuit, access management circuit, and user interface circuit that provides scheduled access to permitted wealth management functions based on user class, enabling improved enrollment, engagement, and longitudinal support by integrating user classes, permissions management, and automated workflow management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual review and processing are used in wealth management enrollment, then accuracy and expertise are ensured, but process time increases significantly and attrition rate increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenrollment accuracyVSAvoidenrollment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the wealth management enrollment process into distinct functional modules including benefit estimation, scenario illustration, and enrollment processing. Each module can be independently processed and reviewed, allowing automated initial processing followed by selective expert review only for complex cases, thereby reducing overall processing time while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary automated processing of enrollment applications, including initial benefit calculations and scenario illustrations, before presenting pre-populated forms to clients for review. This preliminary action reduces the time required for manual data entry and basic calculations, while experts can focus their review on more complex aspects of the application.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple service providers are involved in wealth management, then comprehensive service coverage is achieved, but visibility and coordination between providers deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice coverageVSAvoidprocess visibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the interfaces and data flows of multiple service providers into a unified wealth management platform. The system consolidates benefit illustrations, scenario analyses, and enrollment processes from insurance carriers, investment companies, and other providers into a single coordinated interface, allowing all providers to view and coordinate on the same client information while maintaining their individual service capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms that provide real-time visibility of enrollment progress and plan performance to all service providers involved. Each provider receives updates on the status of their specific products and services within the overall wealth management plan, enabling better coordination and reducing information loss between providers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If expert review is performed for each client plan, then plan accuracy is ensured, but resource consumption and expense increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplan accuracyVSAvoidreview efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial expert review by having experts review only specific critical components of each wealth management plan rather than performing complete reviews. The system identifies key decision points and complex scenarios that require expert judgment, while allowing automated processing for standard, low-risk applications. This selective approach maintains plan accuracy for critical elements while improving overall review efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
