Patent ID: 8813025

Claim:
A computer implemented method for assessing deployment failure risk, the method comprising: creating a fault tree analytical model for the prediction of deployment failures by electronically linking at least one first data object, at least one second data object and a third data object, the first data object corresponding to at least one root cause, said at least one root cause comprising a high level of design complexity, the second data object corresponding to a minor effect based at least in part on the root cause, and the third data object corresponding to a failed customer interaction based at least in part on the one minor effect; storing in computer readable memory one or both of a value and a weight corresponding to the minor effect, wherein the correspondence between the minor effect and the value and the weight is obtained through the application of at least one pre-defined result table specifying at least the first data object and at least one necessary outcome, and wherein the outcome comprises a gate modification of the table; and using a processor to compare an output value of the minor effect to a historical value of the minor effect and utilizing the game modification in the result table to change one or both of the value and the weight based on the comparison.
