Abstract:
1. An article comprising a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium embodying instructions that when performed by one or more machines result in operations comprising: receiving a request to compare a first strategy to a second strategy, the first strategy graphically represented by a first set of linked nodes arranged in a first form of decision logic, the second strategy graphically represented by a second set of linked nodes arranged in a second form of decision logic; converting the first set of linked nodes to a logically equivalent first modified set of linked nodes arranged in a third form of decision logic, the third form of decision logic being selected from a group consisting of: decision tree, a directed acyclic graph and an exception-based directed acyclic graph; converting the second set of linked nodes to a logically equivalent second modified set of linked nodes arranged in the third form of decision logic; and, simultaneously displaying a visual representation of the first modified set of linked nodes and the second modified set of linked nodes, the visual representation being color-coded to indicate the differences and similarities between the first modified set of linked nodes and the second modified set of linked nodes.
