ABSTRACT:
This is a method of using a computer to facilitate decision making where a database can be searched with feed forward information provided to the user. A number of criteria are provided to a user of the system. Each time the user makes a particular selection from a choice of options in a given criteria, the system shows the user how many hits remain for each choice of options in each remaining criteria, based on the particular selection. Each time a particular selection is made within a criteria, the remaining choices are narrowed throughout all remaining criteria. Preferably, the criteria can be selected and/or prioritized by the user.
