Method for assembling and assessing events for extracting structured picture of anticipated future events

A method for assembling an event field of a domain, comprising:

• (a) selecting said domain;
• (b) defining a plurality of factors impacting said domain;
• (c) defining key repeating events for each factor in said domain;
• (d) defining predecessor event and follower event for each said key repeating event;
• (e) adding a first subset of anticipated future events occurring at known regular intervals in said event field;
• (f) adding a second subset of anticipated future events in said event field by applying trends and projections on each said factor;
• (g) adding a third subset of anticipated future events in said event field based on predictions of developments by human experts;
• (h) adding a fourth subset of anticipated future events in said event field based on anticipated disruptions in trends and wild cards;
• (i) adding events in said event field for a current day;
• and
• (j) adding past events in said event field based on the importance of said past events in said domain.

A method for assessing an event field of a domain, comprising:

• (a) examining said event field to identify irrelevant events in said event field, and eliminating said irrelevant events from said event field;
• (b) reviewing impact of recent events on anticipated future events in said event field;
• (c) identifying key anticipated future events in said event field;
• (d) defining and identifying leading indicators for said key anticipated future events for tracking and setting milestone events;
• (e) evaluating probabilities for said key anticipated future events;
• (f) assessing impact of said key anticipated future events on said domain, and identifying risks and challenges associated with said key anticipated future events;
• (g) reviewing said event field for projecting strategy options and anticipating decisions in said domain;
• and
• (h) extracting structured anticipated future events from said event field.
