ABSTRACT:
A method and systems that allows building cause effect tree related to initial problem statement. Each event of cause effect tree can be added with additional axes: hierarchy and operation. Wizards and templates provide simplify adding of undesirable effects. System automatically generates alternative problem statements and queries for search in knowledge bases.
