Abstract:
1. A computerized method for supporting the making of decisions by one or more decision-making participants, the method comprising: in a first computer process, maintaining a repository for storing one or more data sets, each data set including a three-dimensional assessment matrix characterizing one or more options for a decision in terms of one or more factors according to one or more perspectives, each perspective including a rating for each option for each factor and a scoring function for each factor; and in a second computer process, providing access to the repository via a graphical user interface to support interactive decision-making through user-selectable views of data sets including conceptual three-dimensional box views in which the options, factors, and perspectives of an assessment matrix are selectively mapped to the three dimensions of a box and also including conceptual two-dimensional slice views for individual options, factors, and perspectives of the box.
