Abstract
A technique for performing securable market analysis involves establishing an empirically-derived structure and evaluating market size using analytical techniques within that structure. Inputs to a system that incorporates the technique can include a functional job and related emotional and consumption jobs, if any; importance levels; satisfaction levels; job executors; and willingness-to-pay.
Claims21
A system comprising:
- an outcome management engine;
- a securable market innovation engine coupled to the outcome management engine;
- a growth investment engine coupled to the securable market innovation engine;
- wherein, in operation,
- the outcome management engine generates point-in-time market solution-independent data structures, including a job data structure and outcome data structures, wherein the job data structure is associated with a job and includes a job map having outcomes, and wherein the outcome data structures are associated with the outcomes and have importance levels that are also associated with the outcomes;
- the securable market innovation engine generates one or more target solution data structures, including a target solution data structure having satisfaction levels corresponding to each of the outcomes, wherein the satisfaction levels quantify satisfaction with a target solution associated with the target solution data structure with respect to each of the outcomes;
- the securable market innovation engine identifies a securable market using the point-in-time solution-independent data structures and a function of the importance levels and satisfaction levels;
- the growth investment engine provides a growth investment data structure associated with a growth investment targeting the securable market, wherein the growth investment data structure is associated with the target solution.

A system comprising:
- means for generating point-in-time market solution-independent data structures that at least include importance of an outcome of a job;
- means for generating market solution-dependent data structures that at least include satisfaction with an outcome of a job for a market solution;
- means for identifying a securable market using the point-in-time market solution-independent data structures and the market solution-dependent data structures;
- means for generating target solution data structures, including a target solution data structure associated with a target solution that at least includes satisfaction with an outcome of a job for the target solution;
- means for determining expected market share for the target solution in the securable market;
- means for providing a growth investment data structure.
