Abstract
A mechanism is disclosed that dramatically minimizes the time it takes to gather needs, dramatically minimizes the expense it takes to gather those needs, and ensures those statements are formulated in manner that comply with a set of rules designed to ensure the right inputs are used in downstream strategy formulation, marketing, product development, and related company workflows. In addition, the mechanism may or may not minimize the time it takes for a company to acquire the capability to uncover these needs statements.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- gathering, by an electronically stored information (ESI) gathering engine, ESI for a selected market;
- identifying needs for the selected market from the ESI;
- determining measures of relevance of the ESI to the selected market;
- prioritizing the ESI according to the determined measures of relevance;
- purging irrelevant parts of the ESI and the needs associated with the irrelevant parts of the ESI to leave relevant needs for the selected market;
- generating a job map for the selected market using the relevant needs for the selected market;
- generating a needs hierarchy using the job map and the relevant needs for the selected market.

A system comprising:
- an electronically stored information (ESI) gathering engine configured to gather ESI for a selected market;
- a needs gathering engine configured to identify needs for the selected market from the ESI for the selected market;
- a relevance determination engine configured to:
- determine measures of relevance of the ESI to the selected market;
- prioritize the ESI according to the determined measures of relevance;
- purge irrelevant parts of the ESI and the needs associated with the irrelevant parts of the ESI to leave relevant needs for the selected market;
