Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving, at one or more servers, a question to be answered at least partly by a plurality of workers forming a crowdsourcing framework, the question associated with operations of at least one computing system; accessing at least one dataset associated with the question, the at least one dataset including data describing the operations of the at least one computing system and contextual information providing context to the data; receiving a selection of one or more decontextualizing operations to be performed on the at least one dataset associated with the question for altering the contextual information providing the context to the data of the at least one dataset; transforming the at least one dataset associated with the question to at least one decontextualized dataset by performing the selected one or more decontextualizing operations on the at least one dataset associated with the question, the selected one or more decontextualizing operations at least partly altering the contextual information providing the context to the data of the at least one dataset to transform the at least one dataset to the at least one decontextualized dataset, the contextual information describing one or more of: an attribute of the at least one computing system; a characteristic of the data included in the at least one decontextualized dataset comprising one or more of a visual or audio representation; information regarding an organization associated with the at least one computing system; or information regarding an individual associated with the at least one computing system; transforming the question associated with the operations of the at least one computing system to a modified question by decontextualizing information included in the question, the transforming the question including at least partly altering the contextual information included in the question using the at least one decontextualized dataset transformed according to the selected one or more decontextualizing operations; sending the at least one decontextualized dataset and the modified question altered using the at least one decontextualized dataset to a plurality of worker devices associated with the plurality of workers in the crowdsourcing framework; receiving, at the one or more servers, a plurality of answers to the modified question from the plurality of worker devices, the plurality of answers generated by the plurality of workers analyzing the at least one decontextualized dataset in view of the modified question; processing the plurality of answers to determine a processed answer to the modified question; and providing the processed answer to at least one requester as a response to the question associated with the operations of the at least one computing system.
