Methods and Apparatus for Métier Specifications Creation and Utilization

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present inventive technology may generally relate to and include embodiments directed to methods and apparatus to create and utilize various kinds of métier specifications. The inventive technology may have applicability for métier-methodized selection, sequencing, and ranking of individuals for particular métier applications and fulfilling of vacant métier roles with métier-methodized recommended individuals.

A métier generally may be a field of work or other activity in which an individual may have a special ability or training. Métiers may include fields of work, occupations, trades, professions, or the like, but need not be so limited-métiers also may encompass amateur endeavors such as hobbies, avocations, or other non-professional pursuits that may require individuals engaged in them to have the special ability or training required for the métier.

Métiers often may bring together or involve individuals having in common the special training or ability applicable to the métier. As but one example, the legal profession may be a métier bringing together individuals trained as lawyers. This, of course, is just one example of a métier and the individuals having the special ability or training required for it. Even within the legal profession métier, for example, such individuals may include non-lawyers such as paralegals, vendors of legal services and products, and so forth. Other professional métiers may analogously bring together individuals in a like fashion, such as the medical profession métier bringing together doctors, nurses, and vendors of medical services and products, the engineering profession métier bringing together engineers, tradespeople, and vendors of engineering services and products, and so forth. And of course, the manner in which a métier may bring together individuals similarly may extend into the many non-professional métiers that may bring together persons having the special ability or training for the métier.

While it may seem that a métier would provide a common link facilitating the bringing together of individuals participating in the métier, in practice it may be difficult to bring together the best qualified, most complementary, or otherwise most effective individuals for a métier undertaking. The simple commonality of the métier often may be insufficient to bring together individuals in such a manner, particularly where the métier is complex, multifaceted, or otherwise may involve a large number of variables affecting the success or failure of a métier undertaking. In this manner, it may be appreciated that existing attempts to bring together the best qualified, most complementary, or otherwise most effective individuals for a métier may be lacking.

For example, existing attempts may fail to identify and quantify characteristics of individuals affecting their effectiveness for a métier undertaking in a way that is measurable and calculable beyond merely existing at the gross level of the métier. In the legal profession métier, for example, existing attempts may be sufficient at the gross level of the métier to identify individuals as lawyers, or perhaps even as lawyers admitted to a particular state bar, having a certain practice area, or the like, but may fail to account for temperament, disposition, or other psychological aspects pertinent to successful lawyering as may vary for different kinds of legal tasks, and may be unable to measure and calculate those psychological aspects in such a way as to evaluate them for different or varied kinds of legal tasks. Appropriate information may not even exist as needed for such particular tasks, and attempts at computer-implementation may heretofore have been simple automation of conventional techniques in the manner by which they otherwise could or would have been executed by a human.

Further, existing attempts may fail to operate from critically-thought and reasoned bases as to what characteristics make individuals successful in particular métier undertakings, and to develop foundational premises upon which measurements or calculations implementing such foundational premises may be made. In the legal profession métier, for example, it may be desirable to critically think and reason the bases for what temperaments, dispositions, or other psychological aspects make individual lawyers more suitable for some kinds of legal tasks and less so for others, and to formulate such critically-thought and reasoned bases into one or more premises, hypotheses, axioms, or the like that may be used to generate appropriate information and that may be implemented in a manner that allows measurement and calculation of the individual lawyer's psychological qualities in a manner that reflects the premise, hypothesis, or axiom as applied to the specific legal tasks in question. Again, appropriate information may not even exist as needed for such particular tasks, and attempts at computer-implementation may heretofore have been simple automation of conventional techniques in the manner by which they otherwise could or would have been executed by a human.

Moreover, existing attempts and information may fail to account for the large number of variables that may affect the effectiveness of an individual for a given métier undertaking, particularly where the métier is complex or multifaceted. In the legal profession métier, for example, a given legal task may have dozens or even hundreds of variables drawn from psychological aspects of the individual lawyer, objective aspects of the individual lawyer, and aspects specific to the legal task in question, all of which may dynamically interact to affect the success or failure of the legal task, and all of which may be affected by one or more premise-, hypothesis-, or axiom-implemented measurements or calculations drawn from the temperaments, dispositions, or other psychological aspects of the individual lawyers involved. As before, appropriate information may not even exist as needed for such particular tasks, and attempts at computer-implementation may heretofore have been simple automation of conventional techniques in the manner by which they otherwise could or would have been executed by a human.

Existing attempts also may fail to have independently operative computational formulas, principles, information, data, or procedures utilizing such premise-, hypothesis-, or axiom-implemented measurements or calculations for and specific to each of the large number of variables that may affect the effectiveness of an individual for a given métier undertaking. In the legal profession métier, for example, an individual lawyer may have a plurality of discrete psychological characteristics, separate and distinct from one another, that may benefit from individual measurement and calculation using dedicated formulas, principles, or procedures specifically applicable to each such individual psychological characteristic and as may be separately measured and calculated distinct from each other such individual psychological characteristic. Once again, appropriate information may not even exist as needed for such particular tasks, and attempts at computer-implementation may heretofore have been simple automation of conventional techniques in the manner by which they otherwise could or would have been executed by a human.

Existing attempts to bring together the best qualified, most complementary, or otherwise most effective individuals for a métier undertaking that is complex or multifaceted therefore may be largely ineffective or otherwise lacking. Accordingly, a need may exist to create métier specifications that may identify and quantify characteristics of individuals affecting their effectiveness for a métier undertaking in a way that is measurable, calculable, or otherwise utilizable beyond merely existing at the gross level of the métier, that may implement critically-thought and reasoned bases as to what characteristics make individuals successful in particular métier undertakings, that may address the large number of variables for complex or multifaceted métiers that may affect the effectiveness of an individual for a given métier undertaking, and that may have independently operative computational formulas, principles, or procedures utilizing such premise-, hypothesis-, or axiom-implemented measurements or calculations for and specific to each métier specification, particularly where multiple métier specifications may be useful to evaluate an individual in connection with his or her suitability for a métier undertaking.

DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INVENTIONS

It should be understood that embodiments include a variety of aspects, which may be combined in different ways. The following descriptions are provided to list elements and describe some of the embodiments of the application. These elements are listed with initial embodiments; however, it should be understood that they may be combined in any manner and in any number to create additional embodiments. The variously described examples and preferred embodiments should not be construed to limit the embodiments of the application to only the explicitly described systems, techniques, and applications. The specific embodiment or embodiments shown are examples only. The specification should be understood and is intended as supporting broad claims as well as each embodiment, and even claims where other embodiments may be excluded.

Importantly, disclosure of merely exemplary embodiments is not meant to limit the breadth of other more encompassing claims that may be made where such may be only one of several methods or embodiments which could be employed in a broader claim or the like. Further, this description should be understood to support and encompass descriptions and claims of all the various embodiments, systems, techniques, methods, devices, and applications with any number of the disclosed elements, with each element alone, and also with any and all various permutations and combinations of all elements in this or any subsequent application.

They are a practical application and improvement to the functioning of a computer and the technologies for making the described métier rankings, métier recommendations, fulfilling of vacant métier roles, and other such technologies discussed herein.

The inventive technology seeks to improve the métier-relevant,-specific, and -applied approaches and outcomes described herein by using expanded data sets, novel and varied calculational logic, iterative techniques, multi-dimensional analysis, and the other such techniques described herein. The resulting practical applications of the inventive technology are not simply automating conventional activity, because humans have not previously employed these techniques either at all or to the degree of sophistication described herein, and the methods and systems described herein achieve their results in fundamentally different ways than what a human could or would have done if they had tried. Moreover, the computer implementation of the described methods and systems improves speed and accuracy of outcomes in a way that humans have not done before and that would be unachievable as a practical matter without such computer implementation. The result is a practical application of achieving the described métier rankings, recommendations, fulfilling of vacant métier roles, and other practical applications described herein in a manner that is an unconventional solution to a technological problem.

The use of computers and computer-implementation of the methods and systems described herein are intended to be manifested in physical and tangible forms, including via the various processors, hardware, and computer implementations described. As to computer aspects and each aspect amenable to programming or other electronic automation, it should be understood that in characterizing these and all other aspects of the various embodiments of the inventive technology—whether characterized as a device, a capability, an element, or otherwise, because all of these can be implemented via software, hardware, or even firmware structures as set up for a general purpose computer, a programmed chip or chipset, an ASIC, application specific controller, subroutine, logic, or other known programmable or circuit specific structure—it should be understood that all such aspects are at least defined by structures including, as a person of ordinary skill in the art would well recognize: hardware circuitry, firmware, programmed application specific components, and even a general purpose computer programmed to accomplish the identified aspect. For such items implemented by programmable features, the inventive technology should be understand to encompass processes performed with the aid of or on a computer, machine, or computing machine, a programmable apparatus, a computer readable memory encoded with data to direct a computer comprising means or elements which function as described herein, a computer, machine, or computing machine configured as herein disclosed and described, individual or combined subroutines, processor logic, and/or programs as herein disclosed and described, a carrier medium carrying computer readable code for control of a computer to carry out separately each and every individual and combined method described herein, a computer program to perform separately each and every individual and combined method disclosed, a computer program containing all and each combination of means for performing each and every individual and combined step disclosed, a storage medium storing each computer program disclosed, a signal carrying a computer program disclosed, a processor executing instructions that act to achieve the steps and activities detailed, circuitry configurations (including configurations of transistors, gates, and the like) that act to sequence and/or cause actions as detailed, computer readable medium(s) storing instructions to execute the steps and cause activities detailed, the related methods disclosed and described, similar, equivalent, and even implicit variations of each of these systems and methods, those alternative designs which accomplish each of the functions shown as are disclosed and described, those alternative designs and methods which accomplish each of the functions shown as are implicit to accomplish that which is disclosed and described, each feature, component, and step shown as separate and independent inventions, and the various combinations of each of the above and of any aspect, all without limiting other aspects in addition. Computer implementation generally may involve fulfilling, performing, or carrying out a thing or function with a computer. Computer generation generally may involve producing, bringing into existence, or causing to be a thing or function with a computer. The methods and systems described herein should be understood as being amenable to and capable of computer implementation and computer generation even where such may not be explicitly stated.

While the figures may be discussed herein primarily in an apparatus context, it should be understood that they also depict the processes and methods involved and so each figure and even their elements should also be understood as depicting steps in the methods and processes described herein as well.

Embodiments of the present inventive technology may relate to a method of métier-methodized selection, sequencing, and ranking of individuals for a particular métier application. Embodiments of the present inventive technology also may relate to a métier-methodized selection, sequencing, and ranking system (1) of individuals for such a particular métier application.

A métier application generally may be a thing, action, event, or the like having the quality of being usable for a particular purpose or in a special way that is specific to the métier. In a legal profession métier, for example, métier applications may include lawyer networking, lawyer team-building, lawyer referrals, lawyer memberships in lawyer associations, lawyer mentorships, and the like. However, the scope of particular métier applications may be as wide or as narrow as circumstances may require so long as retaining the particular purpose or special way specific to the given métier in question, and of course need not be limited to the illustrative networking, team-building, referrals, associations memberships, and mentorships examples set forth, and indeed need not be limited to the legal profession métier.

The method and system embodiments described and disclosed herein generally may involve métier-methodized selection, sequencing, and ranking of individuals for such métier applications. Such métier-methodized selection, sequencing, and ranking generally may apply métier-methodization to some or all aspects of some or all considerations used in the selection, sequencing, and ranking. This can involve implementing such considerations arranged or executed in a manner according to the needs or requirements of a particular métier or métier application in question. As will be discussed herein, such métier-methodization may be achieved with a very high level of specificity and precision, for example to identify and quantify characteristics of individuals affecting their effectiveness for a métier undertaking in a way that is measurable and calculable beyond merely existing at the gross level of the métier, to operate from critically-thought and reasoned bases as to what characteristics make individuals successful in particular métier undertakings, to account for the large number of variables that may affect the effectiveness of an individual for a given métier undertaking where the métier is complex or multifaceted, and to have independently operative computational formulas, principles, or procedures utilizing premise-, hypothesis-, or axiom-implemented measurements or calculations for and specific to each of the large number of variables that may affect the effectiveness of an individual for a given métier undertaking.

The selection, sequencing, and ranking of individuals in such métier-methodized manners, as set forth in the method and system embodiments described herein, can allow for the creation of métier-applied recommendations for individuals useful for particular métier applications with very high specificity and precision-again, using the legal profession métier as an example, not just a lawyer for an individual's networking, team-building, referral, associations membership, or mentorship needs, but rather perhaps exactly the right lawyer for that particular individual's highly specific and precise needs as measured, quantified, and computed by the métier-methodized system and method embodiments described and disclosed herein.

It is noted that various embodiments of the system described and disclosed herein may utilize data processors for various kinds of complex computational processes. The configuration of such data processors for such various kinds of complex computational processes may be accomplished in any suitable fashion consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein, and in various embodiments may be done such as by programming, a subroutine, firmware, hardware, or the like.

It also is noted that the descriptions and disclosures set forth herein may use the legal profession métier or other kinds of métiers as illustrative examples of various aspects, characteristics, or applications of the inventive technology. Such use of the legal profession métier specifically or other kinds of métiers specifically as such kinds of illustrative examples does not limit the applicability of the illustrated and exemplified aspects, characteristics, or applications from being applied to other métiers, métier applications, métier-relevant things, métier-applied things, and métier-methodized things generally. This should be understood to include (but not be limited to) the description and disclosure herein of specific networking métier applications, specific referrals métier applications, specific team-building métier applications, specific associations membership métier applications, specific leadership development métier applications, specific mentorship métier applications, specific vendor métier applications, specific behavioral tendencies, assertiveness specifically as a behavior tendency, compassion specifically as a behavior tendency, creativity specifically as a behavior tendency, dependability specifically as a behavior tendency, ethicalness specifically as a behavior tendency, open-mindedness specifically as a behavior tendency, passion specifically as a behavior tendency, perseverance specifically as a behavior tendency, pragmatism specifically as a behavior tendency, resilience specifically as a behavior tendency, trust specifically as a behavior tendency, wisdom specifically as a behavior tendency, specific self-assessment queries, specific slider pairs as a self-assessment query, specific either/or questions as a self-assessment query, specific ranking questions as a self-assessment query, specifically disclosed user interfaces, specifically disclosed networking user interfaces, specifically disclosed referrals user interfaces, specifically disclosed team-building interfaces, specifically disclosed associations membership interfaces, specifically disclosed mentorship interfaces, specifically disclosed leadership development interfaces, specifically disclosed vendor interfaces, specifically disclosed types, implementations, or uses of feedback, and specifically disclosed types, implementations, or uses of two-axis scoring, each and all of which may be capable of utilization exactly, substantially, or analogously as disclosed in, for, or with other métiers, métier applications, métier-relevant things, métier-applied things, and métier-methodized things other than the legal profession métier or other specific métier for which they may be described and disclosed herein as illustrative examples.

Referring to the figures, in some embodiments, the method may involve obtaining métier-relevant psychological data (2) of an individual with a métier methodized capture of individual psychological information of that individual. Psychological information may be information pertaining to the mind or mental state of the individual, as perhaps may be manifested by an individual's temperament, disposition, or tendency towards action in a given situation. Capture of such psychological information may be accomplished in any suitable manner consistent with the inventive principles herein disclosed. In some embodiments, capture may be a métier-methodized capture, which may involve capture configured in a manner to arrange such captured psychological information according to the needs or requirements of a particular métier or métier application in question.

In various embodiments, the métier-methodized capture of individual psychological information allows for the obtaining of métier-relevant psychological data (2) of the individual. It may be appreciated that while psychological information may describe a qualitative state, characteristic, or attribute of the individual, psychological data (2) may be information that has been translated into a form that is usable for computationally complex data processing, such as by a computer or the like. The method can allow for the obtaining of métier-relevant psychological data (2) of an individual, which may be psychological data (2) tending to affect the individual's effectiveness for a given particular métier application.

Embodiments of the system may involve a métier-methodized individual psychological information capture element (3) configured to obtain such métier-relevant psychological data of an individual. The capture element (3) may be any as may be suitable to capture psychological information of the individual consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein, and in various embodiments may include keyboards, screens, microphones, displays, touch interfaces, data entry devices, data recording devices, and the like.

In various embodiments of the method, obtaining métier-relevant psychological data (2) may involve obtaining métier-specific psychological data (2). This may be psychological data (2) of an individual specific for a given métier in which the individual may be involved. Naturally, such métier-specific psychological data (2) may take a great many varieties or forms as may be suitable to reflect the given métier in question. In some embodiments, métier-specific psychological data (2) may be behavioral tendency data, and obtaining métier-specific psychological data (2) may involve obtaining behavioral tendency data. Behavioral tendency data may be data regarding an individual's tendencies toward certain behaviors, actions, or the like for a given métier undertaking or situation in which the individual may be involved. Again, behavioral tendency data may take a great many varieties of kinds and forms. For example, in some embodiments, a métier may comprise the legal profession, and obtaining behavioral tenancy data may involve obtaining behavioral tendency data pertaining to the trait of assertiveness, behavioral tendency data pertaining to the trait of compassion, behavioral tendency data pertaining to the trait of creativity, behavioral tendency data pertaining to the trait of dependability, behavioral tendency data pertaining to the trait of ethicalness, behavioral tendency data pertaining to the trait of open-mindedness, behavioral tendency data pertaining to the trait of passion, behavioral tendency data pertaining to the trait of perseverance, behavioral tendency data pertaining to the trait of pragmatism, behavioral tendency data pertaining to the trait of resilience, behavioral tendency data pertaining to the trait of trust, behavioral tendency data pertaining to the trait of wisdom, or any combination of the foregoing. In various embodiments of the system, a métier-methodized individual psychological information capture element (3) may be an element configured to obtain such métier-specific psychological data (2).

In some embodiments of the method, obtaining métier-relevant psychological data (2) of an individual with a métier-methodized capture of individual psychological information of the individual may involve prompting the individual with a métier-methodized self-assessment query (69). This may be a métier-methodized query prompting the individual to conduct a self-assessment of his or her own psychological information as such may be relevant for a given métier in which the individual may be involved. In embodiments of the system, a métier-methodized individual psychological information capture element (3) may be a métier-methodized self-assessment query (69) prompt.

A métier-methodized self-assessment query may be of any suitable type or kind consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein.

In some embodiments, a métier-methodized self-assessment query may involve slider pairs. Slider pairs may involve a user-positionable slider having a characteristic or quality at each end of the slider, thereby perhaps allowing a user to self-assess himself or herself with respect to such characteristics or qualities. In some embodiments, slider pairs may be behavioral tendency metric slider pairs, as wherein such characteristics or qualities may be behavioral tendencies and the slider may be a metric for the same. Any suitable behavioral tendencies may be utilized consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein. For example, in some embodiments a métier may be the legal profession, and slider pairs may be assertiveness versus modesty, compassion versus cruelty, creativity versus unimaginativeness, dependability versus unreliability, ethicalness versus corruption, open-mindedness versus unreceptiveness, passion versus indifference, perseverance versus procrastination, pragmatism versus irrationality, trust versus skepticism, wisdom versus ignorance, and the like. In system embodiments, a métier-methodized self-assessment query prompt may be slider pairs.

In some embodiments, a métier-methodized self-assessment query may involve either/or questions. A user may self-assess a characteristic or quality by providing an answer to an either/or question testing for such characteristic or quality. In some embodiments, either/or questions may be behavioral tendency metric either/or questions, as wherein such characteristics or qualities may be behavioral tendencies and the either/or question may test for the same. Any suitable behavioral tendencies may be utilized consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein. For example, in some embodiments a métier may be the legal profession, and either/or questions may test for creativity versus pragmatism, trust versus assertiveness, ethics versus perseverance, open-mindedness versus wisdom, passion versus compassion, resilience versus dependability, and the like. In system embodiments, a métier-methodized self-assessment query prompt may be either/or questions.

In some embodiments, a métier-methodized self-assessment query may involve ranking questions. A user may self-assess a characteristic or quality by ranking one or more items or things that may test for or correspond to such characteristic or quality. In some embodiments, ranking questions may be behavioral tendency ranking questions, as wherein such characteristics or qualities may be behavioral tendencies. Any suitable behavioral tendencies may be utilized consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein. For example, in some embodiments a métier may be the legal profession, and ranking questions may involve ranking dependability, perseverance, and open-mindedness, ranking compassion, assertiveness, pragmatism, and trustworthiness, ranking resilience, ethics, passion, and wisdom, and the like. In system embodiments, a métier-methodized self-assessment query prompt may be ranking questions.

In some embodiments, the method may involve obtaining métier-relevant objective data (42) of an individual with a métier-methodized capture of objective information of the individual. Objective information may be information pertaining to things external to the mind rather than the psychological state, characteristic, or attribute of an individual. Capture of such objective information may be accomplished in any suitable manner consistent with the inventive principles herein disclosed. In some embodiments, capture may be a métier-methodized capture, which may involve capture configured in a manner to arrange such captured objective information according to the needs or requirements of a particular métier application in question.

In various embodiments, the métier-methodized capture of individual objective information may allow for the obtaining of métier-relevant objective data (42) of the individual. It may be appreciated that while objective information may describe a qualitative state, characteristic, or attribute of the individual, objective data (42) may be information that has been translated into a form that is usable for data processing, such as via a computer or the like. The method may allow for the obtaining of métier-relevant objective data (42) of an individual, which may be objective data (42) tending to affect the individual's effectiveness for a given particular métier application.

Embodiments of the system may involve a métier-methodized individual objective information capture element (4) configured to obtain métier-relevant objective data of an individual. The capture element (4) may be any as may be suitable to capture objective information of the individual consistent with inventive principles discussed herein, and in various embodiments may include keyboards, screens, microphones, displays, touch interfaces, data entry devices, data recording devices, and the like.

Objective data (42) may be of any type or kind consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein. For example, in some embodiments, objective data (42) may include first name data, last name data, nickname data, vocation data, avocation data, location data, personal photo data, pronouns data, birthdate data, race data, ethnicity data, skills data, certifications data, training data, endorsements data, recommendations data, mentorship roles data, and the like. In another example, a métier may be the legal profession, and objective data (42) may include law firm data, field of law data, legal specialty area data, state licensing data, practice geography data, law school data, legal education data, year of bar admission data, desired case type data, recent case overview data, recent case results data, and the like.

In some embodiments of the method, obtaining métier-relevant objective data (42) of an individual with a métier-methodized capture of objective information of the individual may involve prompting the individual with a métier-methodized self-assessment query (69). This may be a métier-methodized query prompting the individual to conduct a self-assessment of his or her own objective information as such may be relevant for a given métier in which the individual may be involved. In embodiments of the system, a métier-methodized individual objective information capture element (3) may be a métier-methodized self-assessment query (69) prompt.

Moreover, métier-relevant objective data (42) in some embodiments may be data of or about an individual himself or herself, and in some embodiments may be information about another person, thing, event, or the like that simply may be relevant to the individual, for example as may be relevant to, for, or in connection with evaluating such individual for a métier undertaking, and which may be or involve métier-relevant numerical input data of such individual in various embodiments.

Embodiments of the method may involve numericizing obtained métier-relevant psychological data (2) of the individual and métier-relevant objective data (42) of the individual to create métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for the individual. Numericizing may facilitate the complex computational processes necessary to apply various embodiments of the methods and systems discussed herein and may be accomplished in any suitable manner consistent with the inventive principles described herein. Numericizing as described herein also may be seen to be an example of a practical application and an improvement to the functioning of a computer as being achieved in a way fundamentally different than what a human could or would do as well as improving speed and accuracy of the same in a way that would be unachievable as a practical matter without computer implementation.

In some embodiments of the system, the system may utilize a data numeration processing element (6) configured to create such métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for the individual from such métier-relevant psychological data (2) and such métier-relevant objective data (42). A data numeration processing element (6) may be any as may be suitable consistent with the inventive principles described herein to transform métier-relevant psychological data (2) and métier-relevant objective data (42) into numerical values, and in some embodiments may include a programmed computer processor, a microprocessor, an embedded processor, an integrated circuit, a programmable CPU, a microcontroller, an ASIC, or the like.

Métier-relevant numerical input data (5) may be understood to be the psychological data (2) and objective data (42) previously discussed, wherein such data has been transformed into one or more numerical values. In various embodiments, such transforming may not change the values of such data, but may merely transform its form into numerals or other forms that are computationally useable. Naturally, such métier-relevant numerical input data (5) may maintain its relevance to the particular métier application in question as being a product of the métier-relevant psychological data (2) and métier-relevant objective data (42) underlying it.

In various embodiments, numericizing métier-relevant psychological data (2) of an individual may involve assigning a numerical value to at least one métier-methodized self-assessment query response. As may be discussed herein, a métier-methodized self-assessment query (69) may be utilized to obtain métier-relevant psychological data (2) of an individual. The responses to such métier-methodized self-assessment queries accordingly may be seen to provide data pertaining to psychological information of the individual, and assigning a numerical value to such responses may serve to numericize such psychological data. In various embodiments of the system, a data numeration processing element (6) may be a data numeration processing element (6) configured to assign a numerical value to at least one métier-methodized self-assessment query response. Assigning a numerical value may involve assigning a numerical value between 0 and 1 inclusive, which in various embodiments may facilitate normalizing or allowing for normalized used of such numerical values in various kinds of data processing, and a data numeration processing element (6) in various embodiments may be a data numeration processing element (6) configured to assign a numerical value between 0 and 1 inclusive.

In some embodiments of the method, at least one métier-methodized self-assessment query response may be a métier trait metric. A métier trait may be a trait of an individual, such as a psychological trait or objective trait of an individual in various embodiments, that may be relevant to the effectiveness or suitability of the individual for a given métier undertaking. A métier trait metric may be a metric, such as a value, numeral, or other measure, tending to measure such a trait of the individual. In some embodiments, métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for an individual may be métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for at least one métier trait metric for the individual.

In some embodiments of the method, a métier trait metric may be a behavioral tendency metric, such as wherein the metric provides a measure of a behavioral tendency of the individual with respect to a métier. For example, in various embodiments the métier may be the legal profession, and numericizing may involve creating a set of numerical values for behavioral tendencies. In embodiments, a data numeration processing element (6) may be configured to create a set of numerical values for behavioral tendencies.

Embodiments of the method may involve equalizing the number of métier-methodized self-assessment queries for a given métier trait metric or metrics, and embodiments of the system may involve an equal number of métier-methodized self-assessment queries for a given métier trait metric or metrics. Using or apportioning equal numbers of such queries per metric in this manner may, for example, promote or contribute to the standardization, normalization, or the like of the resulting data from such queries.

In various embodiments of the method, numericizing may involve assigning a plurality of numerical values to an n-dimensional space. An n-dimensional space may be a conceptual space in which concepts such as values, calculations, measures, and the like may be individually and separately represented in multiple dimensions noted by the “n” value. For example, in some embodiments each dimension of an n-dimensional space may represent a métier trait metric, perhaps as each may be represented by a numerical value, in n dimensions. An n-dimensional space may be specific for a given métier. For example, in some embodiments the métier may comprise the legal profession and the n-dimensional space may have a plurality of behavioral tendency dimensions. In embodiments of the system, a data numeration processing element (6) may be a data numeration processing element (6) configured to assign a plurality of numerical values to an n-dimensional space.

An n-dimensional space in various embodiments may have any number of dimensions “n” suitable consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein for which the n-dimensional space may be utilized. In various embodiments, the number of dimensions may be greater than 10, greater than 20, greater than 50, greater than 75, or greater than 100. In some embodiments, an n-dimensional space may be a 95-dimensional space. Moreover, the implementation of an n-dimensional space in various embodiments may be as a matrix, an array, or the like, such as a matrix of mathematical elements or numerical values, an array of mathematical elements or numerical values, or the like. Further, the utilization of an n-dimensional space as described herein may be an example of a practical application and an improvement to the functioning of a computer as being achieved in a way fundamentally different than what a human could or would do as well as improving speed and accuracy of the same in a way that would be unachievable as a practical matter without computer implementation.

In embodiments, numericizing métier-relevant psychological data (2) of an individual and/or métier-relevant objective data (42) of an individual to create métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for an individual may involve normalizing such métier-relevant psychological data (2) and such métier-relevant objective data (42) to create métier-relevant normalized numerical input data for said individual. Such normalization may involve mathematically transforming or adjusting such data so that the data fits a standard measure or scale, for example in some embodiments by making numerical values fall between 0 and 1 inclusive. In some embodiments, métier-relevant normalized numerical input data for an individual may be scalable input data, symmetrical input data, or the like. In system embodiments, a data numeration processing element (6) may be configured to create such métier-relevant normalized numerical input data for an individual.

In some embodiments, numericizing métier-relevant psychological data (2) of an individual and/or métier-relevant objective data (42) of an individual to create métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for an individual may involve creating a numerical matrix of or for such data. Such a matrix may involve a rectangular, spatial, or other dimensional array of numbers, algebraic symbols, mathematical functions, or the like that may be added, multiplied, or be the subject of various kinds of mathematical operations and/or calculations. In system embodiments, a data numeration processing element (6) may be configured to create a numerical matrix. Moreover, a matrix or matrices as described herein may be an example of a practical application and an improvement to the functioning of a computer as being achieved in a way fundamentally different than what a human could or would do as well as improving speed and accuracy of the same in a way that would be unachievable as a practical matter without computer implementation.

The system in various embodiments may include a métier-applied data valuation framework (7) into which such métier-relevant numerical input data (5) may be input. Such a data valuation framework (7) may utilize one, several, or perhaps even a métier-methodized collection of processes or ways in which to change one or more numerical values of the métier-relevant numerical input data (5) that is put therein. The processes or ways in which such numerical values may be changed may be any as may be suitable consistent with the inventive principles described herein, and in various embodiments may involve mathematical weightings, functions, computations, rules, matrices, numerical value lookups, and the like, and in embodiments a data valuation framework (7) may be a métier-applied weighting data valuation framework (7), a métier-applied function data valuation framework (7), a métier-applied computation data valuation framework (7), a métier-applied data rule valuation framework (7), a métier-applied data matrix valuation framework (7), and the like. The data valuation framework (7) may be métier-applied in as much as it may revalue the métier-relevant numerical input data (5) according to the requirements, needs, or purposes of a given métier application. Utilization of the data valuation framework (7) may serve to create métier-applied revalued numerical data (9), in as much as the métier-relevant numerical input data (5) is revalued by the framework (7) and in as much as the framework (7) itself is métier-applied. In some embodiments, such revaluing may involve generating, creating, or otherwise bringing into existence new or even new kinds of data, information, or the like that may not have existed before, for example, in some embodiments perhaps métier-applied data, information or the like that may provide new or even new kinds of métier-applied capabilities or utilities that may not have been possible prior to the inventive technology disclosed herein. A data valuation framework (7) in embodiments may be a computer-implemented data valuation framework (7), such as a computer-implemented métier-applied data valuation framework (7). Moreover, a métier-applied data valuation framework (7) as described herein may be an example of a practical application and an improvement to the functioning of a computer as being achieved in a way fundamentally different than what a human could or would do as well as improving speed and accuracy of the same in a way that would be unachievable as a practical matter without computer implementation.

The system may utilize a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to create métier-applied revalued numerical data (9) for an individual by applicatively revaluing métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for the individual with a métier-applied data valuation framework (7). The processing element (8) may be any as may be suitable consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein to process or change numerical values as described for the data valuation framework (7), and in some embodiments may include a programmed computer processor, a microprocessor, an embedded processor, an integrated circuit, a programmable CPU, a microcontroller, an ASIC, and the like.

In this manner, the method in various embodiments may involve applicatively revaluing métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for an individual by inputting the métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for the individual into a métier-applied data valuation framework (7) to create métier-applied revalued numerical data (9) for the individual. Inputting may involve supplying one or more numerical values of the métier-relevant numerical input data (5) as input for the processes or ways in which the numerical values may be changed by the data valuation framework (7), and applicatively revaluing the métier-relevant numerical input data (5) may involve changing numerical values of such numerical input data to meet the needs or requirements of a particular métier application. In some embodiments, applicatively revaluing may be computer-implemented applicatively revaluing.

In some embodiments of the method, applicatively revaluing the métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for an individual may involve applicatively revaluing the métier-relevant numerical input data (5) in an n-dimensional space. In various embodiments, each dimension of such an n-dimensional space may represent a métier trait metric, and in some embodiments, the métier may be the legal profession and the n-dimensional space may have a plurality of behavioral tendency dimensions. Examples of such behavioral tendency dimensions in some embodiments may include dimensions for assertiveness, compassion, creativity, dependability, ethicalness, open-mindedness, passion, perseverance, pragmatism, resilience, trust, wisdom, and the like. In embodiments of the system, a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) may be a n-dimensional space métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8). Applicatively revaluing in an n-dimensional space again may be an example of a practical application and an improvement to the functioning of a computer as being achieved in a way fundamentally different than what a human could or would do as well as improving speed and accuracy of the same in a way that would be unachievable as a practical matter without computer implementation.

In various embodiments of the method and the system, a métier-applied data valuation framework (7) may implement one or more axioms. Such axioms may be premises, contentions, observations, rules, tenets, theorems, principles, or the like that may provide predictive information on whether an individual may be effective or suitable for a given métier undertaking. For example, in some embodiments, the métier may be the legal profession, and the axioms may relate to métier applications such as networking, team-building, referrals, associations membership, and mentorship. In various embodiments, a métier-applied data valuation framework (7) may be a métier-applied networking data valuation framework (7) that may include, utilize, or otherwise have or incorporate at least one networking axiom, a métier-applied team-building data valuation framework (7) that may include, utilize, or otherwise have or incorporate at least one team-building axiom, a métier-applied referrals data valuation framework (7) that may include, utilize, or otherwise have or incorporate at least one referrals axiom, a métier-applied associations membership data valuation framework (7) that may include, utilize, or otherwise have or incorporate at least one associations membership axiom, and a métier-applied mentorship data valuation framework (7) that may include, utilize, or otherwise have or incorporate at least one mentorship axiom.

The nature of the axioms may be any as may be suitable consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein by which the properties of the data valuation framework (7) may be built. For example, where the métier is the legal profession and the métier application may be team-building, a team-building axiom may be selected from a local practice area axiom, a fields of law axiom, a specialty area axiom, a trial threat axiom, a complementary personalities axiom, a case outcomes axiom, a diversity axiom, a feedback axiom, a degrees of separation axiom, a case example axiom, and a skills and certifications axiom. Such implementations of axioms as described herein further may be an example of a practical application and an improvement to the functioning of a computer as being achieved in a way fundamentally different than what a human could or would do as well as improving speed and accuracy of the same in a way that would be unachievable as a practical matter without computer implementation.

The method in various embodiments may involve applicatively ranking an individual by using the métier-applied revalued numerical data (9) for the individual to create a métier-applied individual rank score (10) for the individual. A rank score (10) for an individual may computationally measure or quantify, often from a complex combination of disparate and perhaps even non-analogous factors, the individual's effectiveness, suitability, or the like for a given purpose, and in various embodiments may be a numerical value rank score (10). Applicatively ranking may involve creating such a rank score (10) for an individual for a particular métier application, and the rank score (10) may be seen as being métier-applied in this fashion.

Applicatively ranking as described herein may be another example of a practical application and an improvement to the functioning of a computer as being achieved in a way fundamentally different than what a human could or would do as well as improving speed and accuracy of the same in a way that would be unachievable as a practical matter without computer implementation.

In some embodiments, métier-applied revalued numerical data (9) may be a plurality of revalued numerical values. The action of applicatively ranking in such situations may involve transforming such plurality of revalued numerical values into a numerical value rank score (10), which in embodiments may be a single value. Such situations may arise, for example, where métier-relevant numerical input data (5) comprises multiple numerical values for valuation with a métier-applied data valuation framework (7). In some embodiments, for example, a plurality of revalued numerical values may be a plurality of revalued numerical values in an n-dimensional space, such as wherein each dimension of such n-dimensional space may represent a métier trait metric. In some embodiments, a métier may be the legal profession, and an n-dimensional space may be a plurality of behavioral tendency dimensions. In system embodiments, a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) may be configured to transform such a plurality of revalued numerical values into one or more numerical value rank scores (10).

The system in various embodiments may have an applicative data rank processing element (11) configured to create such a métier-applied individual rank score (10) for the individual using the métier-applied revalued numerical data (9) for the individual, such as may have been created with the métier-applied data valuation framework (7). The applicative data rank processing element (11) may be any as may be suitable consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein to create a métier-applied individual rank score (10), and in some embodiments may include a programmed computer processor, a microprocessor, an embedded processor, an integrated circuit, a programmable CPU, a microcontroller, an ASIC, or the like. Creating the rank score (10) in some embodiments may involve changing one or more numerical values of the métier-applied revalued numerical data (9), such as with the applicative data rank processing element (11). The processes or ways in which such numerical values may be changed may be any as may be suitable consistent with the inventive principles described herein, and in various embodiments may involve mathematical weightings, functions, computations, rules, numerical value lookups, and the like. Using the métier-applied revalued numerical data (9) may involve supplying such data as input for the applicative data rank processing element (11). The data rank processing element (11) may be seen to be applicative in as much as it may create a rank score (10) for a particular métier application.

In some embodiments, applicatively ranking an individual may involve comparing said métier-applied individual rank score (10) for the individual to at least one métier-applied individual rank score (10) for another individual, and an applicative data rank processing element (11) may be an applicative data rank processing element (11) configured to compare a métier-applied individual rank score (10) for an individual to at least one métier-applied individual rank score (10) for another individual.

The method in various embodiments may involve applying the métier-applied individual rank score (10) for the individual to create a métier-applied recommendation (12) for the individual useful for a particular métier application. Creating such a métier-applied recommendation (12) may be done in any manner suitable consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein. For example, in various embodiments, creating such a métier-applied recommendation (12) may involve comparing the rank score (10) for the individual with rank scores (10) for other individuals, comparing the rank score for the individual against a threshold or minimum rank score (10) required for a particular métier application, and the like. A métier-applied recommendation (12) in embodiments may be computer-generated métier-applied recommendation (12). Métier-applied recommendations (12) as described herein may be another example of a practical application and an improvement to the functioning of a computer as being achieved in a way fundamentally different than what a human could or would do as well as improving speed and accuracy of the same in a way that would be unachievable as a practical matter without computer implementation.

The métier-applied recommendation (12) also may be any as may be suitable consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein that may be useful for a particular métier application. Generally speaking, the usefulness of such a métier-applied recommendation (12) may be to reflect the effectiveness, suitability, or the like of the individual for a given particular métier application.

Some embodiments may involve fulfilling a vacant métier role for a particular métier application with a métier-methodized recommended individual. Such a métier role may be or involve a given métier position, function, or the like assumed by an individual in a given métier, métier application, métier undertaking, or the like. For example, in a networking métier application, fulfilling a métier role may involve adding a métier-methodized recommended individual to another individual's network. In another example, in a team-building métier application, fulfilling a métier role may involve adding a recommended métier-methodized individual to a team. In another example, in a referrals métier application, fulfilling a métier role may involve referring a person, thing, matter, or the like from or to a métier-methodized recommended individual. In another example, in a mentorship métier application, fulfilling a métier role may involve providing a métier-methodized recommended individual as a mentor or a mentee for another individual. In another example, in an associations membership or associations subgroup métier application, fulfilling a métier role may involve providing a métier-methodized recommended individual as a member for an association or association subgroup. While the foregoing provide some examples, naturally fulfilling a vacant métier role for a particular métier application with a métier-methodized recommended individual may take any form or be of any kind suitable consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein. Fulfilling a vacant métier role as described herein may be another example of a practical application and an improvement to the functioning of a computer as being achieved in a way fundamentally different than what a human could or would do as well as improving speed and accuracy of the same in a way that would be unachievable as a practical matter without computer implementation.

In various embodiments, the recommendation naturally may be for a given métier application, such as a métier-applied networking recommendation for the individual useful for a métier networking application, a métier-applied team-building recommendation for the individual useful for a métier team-building application, a métier-applied referrals recommendation for the individual useful for a métier referrals application, métier-applied associations membership recommendation for the individual useful for a métier associations membership application, a métier-applied mentorship recommendation for the individual useful for a métier mentorship application, a métier-applied leadership recommendation for the individual useful for a métier leadership application, a métier-applied vendor recommendation for the individual useful for a métier vendor application, and the like. In some embodiments, applying a métier-applied individual rank score (10) for an individual to create a métier-applied recommendation (12) for the individual useful for a particular métier application may involve applying the highest métier-applied individual rank score (10) among a plurality of individuals to make such recommendation.

The system in various embodiments may involve an individual rank score data application processing element (13) configured to apply the métier-applied individual rank score (10) for the individual to create the métier-applied recommendation (12) for the individual useful for a particular métier application. The individual rank score data application processing element (13) may be any as may be suitable consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein to create the métier-applied recommendation (12) through application of the métier-applied individual rank score (10), and in some embodiments may include a programmed computer processor, a microprocessor, an embedded processor, an integrated circuit, a programmable CPU, a microcontroller, an ASIC, and the like.

Embodiments may be provided with a métier-applied user interface (122) or interfaces (122). Such a user interface (122) may involve hardware or software enabling the communication of information between hardware, software, devices, programs, and the like and a user or users. Examples of user interfaces (122) may include keyboards, screens, microphones, displays, touch interfaces, data entry devices, data recording devices, speakers, visual interfaces, audio interfaces, and the like. The user interface (122) may be métier-applied in as much as allowing one or more individuals to interact, participate in, or otherwise benefit from the methods and systems described herein according to the requirements, needs, or purposes of a given métier application.

For example, in some embodiments a métier application may be networking, and embodiments may involve providing a métier-applied networking user interface (122). The interface may allow a user or users to interact, participate in, or otherwise benefit from the methods and systems described herein according to networking requirements, needs, or purposes. In some embodiments a métier may be the legal profession, and a métier-applied networking user interface (122) may involve a map or maps of fields of law, a referrals sorting interface, a feedback sorting interface, a profession sorting interface, and the like. In system embodiments, a métier-applied networking user interface (122) may be responsive to at least one processing element.

In another example, in some embodiments a métier application may be team-building, and embodiments may involve providing a métier-applied team-building user interface (122). The interface may allow a user or users to interact, participate in, or otherwise benefit from the methods and systems described herein according to team-building requirements, needs, or purposes.

In another example, in some embodiments a métier application may be referrals, and embodiments may involve providing a métier-applied referrals user interface (122). The interface may allow a user or users to interact, participate in, or otherwise benefit from the methods and systems described herein according to referrals requirements, needs, or purposes. In some embodiments a métier may be the legal profession, and a métier-applied referrals user interface (122) may involve a referrals sending interface, a referrals tracking interface, a reciprocity tracking interface, and the like. In system embodiments, a métier-applied referrals user interface (122) may be responsive to at least one processing element.

In another example, in some embodiments a métier application may be associations membership, and embodiments may involve providing a métier-applied associations membership user interface (122). The interface may allow a user or users to interact, participate in, or otherwise benefit from the methods and systems described herein according to associations membership requirements, needs, or purposes. In some embodiments a métier may be the legal profession, and a métier-applied associations membership user interface (122) may involve a chat interface, a dues interface, a purchasing interface, and the like. In system embodiments, a métier-applied associations membership user interface (122) may be responsive to at least one processing element.

In another example, in some embodiments a métier application may be mentorship, and embodiments may involve providing a métier-applied mentorship user interface (122). The interface may allow a user or users to interact, participate in, or otherwise benefit from the methods and systems described herein according to mentorship requirements, needs, or purposes. In system embodiments, a métier-applied mentorship user interface (122) may be responsive to at least one processing element.

In some embodiments, a métier-applied user interface (122) may have, utilize, or otherwise involve a filter (123). Such a filter may categorize, sort, prioritize, block, or similarly act on data, such as through rule-based protocols or the like. For example, in some embodiments a métier-applied referrals user interface (122) may have a referrals filter (123), such as a geographic filter, a field of law filter, and the like.

Various embodiments of the system and the method may utilize reference data. Reference data may be used in conjunction with the métier-applied data valuation framework (7). For example, where embodiments of the method may involve applicatively revaluing métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for an individual with a métier-applied data valuation framework (7), reference data may provide reference values against which métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for the individual may be revalued against. The reference values may represent data or information external of the individual in question for whom métier-relevant numerical input data (5) has been created, but that nevertheless may be relevant for evaluating that individual's effectiveness or suitability for a given métier undertaking. The utilization of reference data as described herein may be another example of a practical application and an improvement to the functioning of a computer as being achieved in a way fundamentally different than what a human could or would do as well as improving speed and accuracy of the same in a way that would be unachievable as a practical matter without computer implementation.

For example, embodiments of the method may involve utilizing historical reference data (14). Such historical reference data (14) may provide data pertaining to historical events or information that may be relevant in evaluating the effectiveness or suitability of the individual for a given métier undertaking. In some embodiments, historical reference data (14) may be feedback data, such as user feedback data or the like. Naturally, in various embodiments historical reference data (14) may be one or more numerical values, perhaps in some embodiments such as may have been assigned a value or values between zero and one inclusive. In system embodiments, a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) may be a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to utilize historical reference data (14).

In embodiments where applicatively revaluing métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for an individual involves utilizing historical reference data (14), such utilizing may involve adjusting at least one numerical value of métier-relevant numerical input data (5) in response to such historical reference data (14), for example increasing a value of an historically effective variable, decreasing a value of an historically ineffective variable, or the like. In this manner, applicatively revaluing métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for an individual may take into account historical information represented by such historical reference data (14) that may tend to influence, affect, or otherwise be relevant to the effectiveness or suitability of the individual for a métier undertaking. Moreover, embodiments may involve discounting aged historical reference data (14), which may tend to devalue the weight, relevance, or the like of historical reference data (14), such as wherein older historical reference data (14) may have less weight, relevance, or the like as compared to newer historical reference data (14). In system embodiments, a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) may be configured to adjust at least one numerical value of métier-relevant numerical input data (5) in response to historical reference data (14), such as configured to increase a value of an historically effective variable, configured to decrease a value of a historically ineffective variable, and the like, and system embodiments may involve an age-of-data historical reference data discount processing element (121).

Embodiments of the method also may involve utilizing group reference data (15). Where a plurality of individuals may work together in a group, group reference data (15) may be data pertaining to the effectiveness or suitability of the group, or perhaps the effectiveness or suitability of individuals in the group, for the métier undertaking in which the group may be involved. Examples of groups of individuals engaged in a métier undertaking may include building a team of individuals for a métier task, individuals seeking networking opportunities within the métier, individuals seeking mentorship opportunities within the métier, individuals seeking to refer métier business to other individuals within the métier, individuals seeking membership opportunities in métier associations, and the like. In embodiments of the method, applicatively revaluing métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for an individual may involve utilizing group reference data (15) where the effectiveness or the suitability of the individual is being evaluated in connection with a group métier undertaking, and applicatively ranking an individual by using the métier-applied revalued numerical data (9) for the individual may involve maximizing the aggregate effectiveness of the group of individuals, such as wherein group reference data (15) may be utilized to rank the individual as, for example, contributing to or weakening the effectiveness of the group. System embodiments may have an applicative data rank processing element (11) configured to maximize the aggregate effectiveness of the group of individuals and a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to utilize group reference data. In some embodiments, maximizing the aggregate effectiveness of a group of individuals may involve prompting a user to maximize the aggregate effectiveness of such a group of individuals, and a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to utilize group reference data (15) may be a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) responsive to a user prompt.

In some embodiments, maximizing the aggregate effectiveness of a group of individuals may involve taking the sum of the highest métier-applied individual rank scores (10) for a plurality of individuals. For example, such a plurality of individuals may be a pool of candidates that composition of the group of individuals may be drawn from. Drawing such individuals from such plurality may be accomplished by using the highest métier-applied individual rank scores (10) for the needs of the group, which in some cases perhaps may be a simple sum of the highest métier-applied individual rank scores (10) from the plurality of individuals, or in other cases may be the sum of the highest such métier-applied individual rank scores (10) according to a more involved methodology. In some embodiments, applicatively ranking an individual may involve iteratively recasting a métier-applied individual rank score (10) for the individual to create a métier-applied iteratively recast individual rank score (10) for the individual, which may involve computer-implemented iteratively recasting a computer-generated métier-applied individual rank score (10). This may occur, for example, where individuals may be added to a group, the needs of the group may change accordingly, and further candidate individuals may be re-ranked in light of the same, the whole process perhaps occurring iteratively upon each addition of an individual to the group.

Maximizing the aggregate effectiveness of a group of individuals in some embodiments may involve utilizing the highest métier-applied iteratively recast individual rank score (10) among a plurality of individuals. In system embodiments, a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) may be configured to take the sum of the highest métier-applied individual rank scores (10) for a plurality of individuals, an applicative data rank processing element (11) may be configured to iteratively recast one or more métier-applied individual rank scores (10) for one or more individuals to create one or more métier-applied iteratively recast individual rank scores (10) for such individual or individuals, and an applicative data rank processing element (11) may be configured to utilize the highest métier-applied iteratively recast individual rank score (10) or scores (10) among a plurality of individuals.

Embodiments of the method may involve iteratively developed reference data (16), which in embodiments may be computer-implemented iteratively developed reference data (16). Iteratively developed reference data (16) may be data generated by repeating a process, step, calculation, or the like as may be set forth, for example, in the method embodiments described herein. In some embodiments, data generated as output from such repetition may become the input for a subsequent iteration of such a repeated process, step, calculation, or the like.

For example, in various embodiments of the method, applicatively ranking an individual may involve iteratively recasting a métier-applied individual rank score (10) for the individual. Such a step of iteratively recasting may become necessary or desirable, for example, where reference data is newly generated that may make a prior rank score (10) for an individual obsolete. One example of this may occur in team-building métier applications, where the addition of individuals to a team may change the effectiveness or suitability of the previously ranked individual for the team, necessitating re-ranking of the individual. This, of course, should be understood as one illustrative and non-limiting example giving rise to a situation where iteratively developed reference data (16) may become necessary or desirable.

More generally, such situations may arise in a variety of métier applications such as networking métier applications, team-building métier applications, referrals métier applications, associations membership métier applications, mentorship métier applications, and the like. Various embodiments of the method accordingly may involve iteratively recasting a métier-applied individual rank score (10) for an individual in response to iteratively developed networking reference data, iteratively recasting a métier-applied individual rank score (10) for an individual in response to iteratively developed team-building reference data, iteratively recasting a métier-applied individual rank score (10) for an individual in response to iteratively developed referrals reference data, iteratively recasting a métier-applied individual rank score (10) for an individual in response to iteratively developed membership associations reference data, iteratively recasting a métier-applied individual rank score (10) for an individual in response to iteratively developed mentorship reference data, and the like.

In various embodiments, the method may involve generating antecedent iterative reference data (17) (which may involve computer-generating antecedent iterative reference data (17)), utilizing the antecedent iterative reference data (17) in a step of the method (which may involve utilizing computer-generated antecedent iterative reference data (17) in a computer-implemented step), and generating subsequent iterative reference data (18) as a result of using the antecedent iterative reference data (17) in such step in the method (which may involve computer-generating subsequent iterative reference data (18) as a result of a computer-implemented step). For example, iteratively recasting in various embodiments of the method may involve generating antecedent iterative reference data (17), utilizing the antecedent iterative reference data (17) in a step of applicatively revaluing, and generating subsequent iterative reference data (18) as a result of the step of applicatively revaluing. In some embodiments, utilizing antecedent iterative reference data (17) in a step of applicatively revaluing may involve adjusting at least one numerical value of métier-relevant numerical input data (5) in response to the antecedent iterative reference data (17). In various embodiments, it may be appreciated that subsequent iterative reference data (18) may be antecedent iterative reference data (17) for a next succeeding iteration.

In system embodiments, iteratively developed reference data (16) may be utilized by appropriate processing elements. For example, a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) may be configured to iteratively recast a métier-applied individual rank score (10) for an individual and may be configured to utilize iteratively developed reference data (16) for the same, which in various embodiments may include iteratively developed networking reference data (16), iteratively developed team-building reference data (16), iteratively developed referrals reference data (16), iteratively developed associations membership reference data (16), iteratively developed mentorship reference data (16), and the like. In some embodiments, a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to utilize antecedent iterative reference data (18) with a métier-applied data valuation framework (7) may be a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to adjust at least one numerical value of métier-relevant numerical input data (5) in response to such antecedent iterative reference data (18).

Moreover, the iterative reference data as described herein may be another example of a practical application and an improvement to the functioning of a computer as being achieved in a way fundamentally different than what a human could or would do as well as improving speed and accuracy of the same in a way that would be unachievable as a practical matter without computer implementation.

Various embodiments of the method may involve utilizing at least one feedback point (19) in connection with any step of any method embodiment, such as may be described herein for the method, and which in embodiments may be a computer-implemented feedback point (19). A feedback point (19) may be a point in such a method at which feedback may be provided. For example, embodiments may involve providing feedback for use in conjunction with a step of obtaining métier-relevant psychological data (2) of an individual, obtaining métier-relevant objective data (42) of the individual, numericizing such data, applicatively revaluing numerical input data (5), applicatively ranking the individual, applying a métier-applied individual rank score (10) for the individual, and the like.

Feedback in various embodiments may be a reaction or response to a particular process or activity, for example as such processes or activities may be described for the method and system embodiments described herein, and may include evaluative information derived from such a reaction or response. The nature of feedback may be any as may be métier-relevant, métier-applied, or métier-methodized consistent with the inventive principles described herein.

A network-composition parameter (73) or a team-composition parameter (74) may have a relative parameter weight (31) that may be a numerical value. The numerical value may be any as may be suitable for a given métier application. For example, in a networking métier application, a relative parameter weight (31) may be the numerical value 3, and in a team-building métier application, the relative parameter weight (31) may be the numerical value 1.

Métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for a network-composition parameter (73) or a team-composition parameter (74) in embodiments may be a network composition match value (81) or a team composition match value (82). A network composition match value (81) or a team composition match value (82) may be a value corresponding to an aspect, characteristic, or other quality of an individual by which a network composition or team composition of such individuals may be described. For example, in various embodiments a network composition match value (81) or a team composition match value (82) may be an identity match value (83) for an individual (such as corresponding to a particular race, ethnicity, or like of the individual), may be a pronoun match value (84) for an individual (such as corresponding to particular pronouns an individual may utilize), may be an age match value (85) for an individual (such as corresponding to an age of an individual or a bin of ages or an age range within which the individual may fall), and the like.

Match values (99) may indicate a match or a disparity among individuals with respect to the aspect, characteristic, or other quality represented by the value. For example, in some embodiments match values (99) may be for specific identities, pronouns, ages, or the like. Individuals having the same identity, pronoun, age, or the like may have the same match value for such identity, pronoun, age, or the like, and individuals having disparate identities, pronouns, ages or the like may have different match values (99) for such identities, pronouns, ages, or the like. In this manner, match values (99) may be seen as capable of distinguishing matches and disparities for such aspects, characteristics, or other qualities among a pool such individuals.

A network composition match value (81) or values or a team composition match value (82) or values may be used in one or more métier-trait-metric-parameter specific mathematical operations or in one or more métier-trait-metric-parameter specific mathematical calculations. For example, in some embodiments network composition match values or team composition match values may be used to obtain the percentage of individuals in a given individual's network or on a team having the same network composition match value (81) or team composition match value (82) as the individual, such as the same identity match value, the same pronoun match value, the same age match value, or the like. A métier-trait-metric-parameter-specific mathematical calculation (71) may include setting an interim métier-trait-metric parameter value (28) to the numerical value of the difference obtained by subtracting the percentage of individuals in an individual's network or of a team having the same network composition match value (81) or team composition match value (82) from the percentage of individuals in a pool of individuals having the same network composition match value (81) or team composition match value (82) if such numerical value of such difference is greater than 0, and setting an interim métier-trait-metric parameter value (28) to a numerical value of 0 in all other cases. Any suitable pool of individuals may be used in connection with such a calculation. For example, in embodiments where a métier is the legal profession, such a pool of individuals may be a pool of lawyers in given geography or other kind of field or area, such as lawyers in the United States. A métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to apply a métier-trait-metric-parameter-specific mathematical calculation (71) in embodiments may include a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to set an interim métier-trait-metric parameter value (28) to the numerical value of the difference obtained by subtracting the percentage of individuals in an individual's network or of a team having the same network composition match value (81) or team composition match value (82) from the percentage of individuals in a pool of individuals having the same network composition match value (81) or team composition match value (82) if such numerical value of such difference is greater than 0, and to set an interim métier-trait-metric parameter value (28) to a numerical value of 0 in all other cases.

It further may be appreciated that network-composition parameters (73) and team-composition parameters (74) herein described both may be examples pertaining to the compositions of a plurality or pluralities of individuals. The same principles, methodologies and techniques may be applicable to a plurality or pluralities of individuals of other kinds, and may be applicable to the utilization of a plurality-of-individuals-composition parameter.

At least one métier-trait-metric parameter (26) in embodiments may be a feedback parameter (86) or a feedback-scores parameter (87). These may be parameters tending to measure, quantify, or otherwise provide information pertaining to feedback for a given individual or plurality of individuals. In some embodiments, feedback parameters (86) or feedback-score parameters (87) may be utilized to promote individuals who are more highly rated by other individuals, to promote individuals more highly rated by a given individual, and the like, for example as may be relevant for a given métier, métier application, or the like. Any kinds of feedback for any kinds of individuals or pluralities of individuals may be utilized consistent with the inventive principles described herein. For example, embodiments may involve a feedback parameter (86), a networking-aspirant-for-networking-candidate-feedback-scores parameter (88), a networking-candidate-for-networking-aspirant-feedback-scores parameter (89), a team-member-candidate-feedback parameter (90), a referring-individual-for-referral-candidate-feedback-scores parameter (91), a referral-candidate-for-referring-individual-feedback-scores parameter (92), a mentee-aspirant-for-mentor-candidate-feedback-scores-parameter (93), a mentor-candidate-for-mentee-aspirant-feedback-scores parameter (94), a mentor-aspirant-for-mentee-candidate-feedback-scores parameter (95), a mentee-candidate-for-mentor-aspirant-feedback-scores parameter (96), and the like.

A feedback parameter (86) or feedback-scores parameter (87) may have a relative parameter weight (31) that may be a numerical value. The numerical value may be any as may be suitable for a given métier application. For example, the relative parameter weight (31) for a feedback parameter (86) or feedback scores parameter may be the numerical value 1. Métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for a feedback parameter (86) in embodiments may be a feedback score (97) or scores (97) for an individual or individuals. A feedback score (97) may be a value tending to measure, quantify, or otherwise provide information pertaining to feedback for a given individual. Embodiments may involve a feedback score (97) or scores (97) being a numerical value or values, which in embodiments may be one or more numerical values between 0 and 1 inclusive. Moreover, any kind of feedback of an individual may be scored consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein. For example, embodiments may involve a feedback score (97) or scores (97) for a networking candidate individual, a feedback score (97) or scores (97) given by a networking aspirant individual to a networking candidate individual, a feedback score (97) or scores (97) given by a networking candidate individual to a networking aspirant individual, a feedback score (97) or scores (97) for a team-member candidate individual, a feedback score (97) or scores (97) for a referral candidate individual, a feedback score (97) or scores (97) given by a referring individual to a referral candidate individual, a feedback score (97) or scores (97) given by a referral candidate individual to a referring individual, a feedback score (97) or scores (97) for a mentor candidate individual, a feedback score (97) or scores (97) given by a mentee aspirant individual to a mentor candidate individual, a feedback score (97) or scores (97) given by a mentor candidate individual to a mentee aspirant individual, a feedback score (97) or scores (97) for a mentee candidate individual, a feedback score (97) or scores (97) given by a mentor aspirant individual to a mentee candidate individual, a feedback score (97) or scores (97) given by a mentee candidate individual to a mentor aspirant individual, and the like.

A feedback score (97) or scores (97) in embodiments may be used in one or more métier-trait-metric-parameter specific mathematical operations or in one or more métier-trait-metric-parameter specific mathematical calculations.

For example, in some embodiments a métier-trait-metric-parameter-specific mathematical operation (98) may include creating an interim numerical data set (27) from or by using one or more feedback scores. Examples may include eliminating one or more feedback scores (97) older than a threshold age value and/or eliminating a feedback score (97) or scores (97) outside of a threshold interquartile range value. Such threshold age values and threshold interquartile range values may be any as may be suitable consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein and may, for example, be tailored for the needs or requirements of a métier application in connection with which the mathematical operation may be performed. For example, in some embodiments a threshold age value may be three months, one year, or the like, and in some embodiments a threshold interquartile range value may be +/−1.5 interquartile range for a given set of feedback scores (97). A métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to perform a métier-trait-metric-parameter-specific mathematical operation (98) in embodiments may include a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to create said interim numerical data set (27) by eliminating any feedback score (97) older than a threshold age value, by eliminating any feedback score (97) outside of a threshold interquartile range value for said feedback scores (97), and the like.

In another example, some embodiments of a métier-trait-metric-parameter-specific mathematical calculation (71) may include taking the average of a set of feedback scores (97), such as feedback scores (97) of an interim numerical data set (27). A métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to apply a métier-trait-metric-parameter-specific mathematical calculation (71) in embodiments may include a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to take the average of feedback scores (97) of an interim numerical data set (27).

Métier-trait-metric parameters (26) in embodiments may utilize match values (99). Match values (99) may correspond to an aspect, characteristic, or other quality of an individual by which comparison may be made to another individual to assess if such other individual has the same aspect, characteristic, or other such quality. In this manner, match values (99) may indicate a match or a disparity among individuals with respect to such aspect, characteristic, or other quality represented by the value. A match value (99) in some embodiments may be a tag, character, numerical value or the like coding for or otherwise indicating the presence or absence of such aspect, characteristic, or other quality.

At least one métier-trait-metric parameter (26) in embodiments may be a degrees-of-separation-parameter (126). This may be a parameter tending to measure, quantify, or otherwise provide information on whether one individual may know another individual through one or more colleagues. In some embodiments, such a parameter may be utilized to promote bringing together individuals who know, have familiarity with, or otherwise may have personal relationship connections with one another in a manner to beneficially advantage the contributions made by each individual to a collective métier undertaking. Degrees-of-separation parameters (126) may utilize colleague match values (127), such as wherein the match value may indicate whether or not given individuals have one or more colleagues in common. For example, in a networking métier application, métier-relevant numerical input data (5) may be a colleague match value (127) for a networking aspirant individual, and a networking candidate individual may have a colleague match value (127). In another example, in a referrals métier application, métier-relevant numerical input data (5) may be a colleague match value (127) for a referring individual, and a referral candidate individual may have a colleague match value (127). In another example, in a mentorship métier application, métier-relevant numerical input data (5) may be a colleague match value (127) for a mentee aspirant individual, and a mentor candidate individual may have a colleague match value (127).

A colleague match may be indicated by colleague match values (127) in any suitable manner consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein, for example, as wherein specific values may code for, indicate, or otherwise identify specific persons as colleagues of individuals, and a colleague match may be indicated if two or more individuals have such specific values in common. In this manner, the parameter may be seen to promote associations of individuals having one or more colleagues in common. Moreover, a degrees-of-separation parameter (126) in embodiments may have a relative parameter weight (31) that may be a numerical value. The numerical value may be any as may be suitable for a given métier or métier application. For example, the relative parameter weight (31) in various embodiments may be the numerical value 1. A métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to apply a métier-trait-metric-parameter-specific mathematical calculation (71) in embodiments may include a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to set an interim métier-trait-metric parameter value (28) to a numerical value of 1 for colleague match values that indicate a colleague match and to set the interim métier-trait-metric parameter value (28) to a numerical value of 0 in all other cases.

At least one métier-trait-metric parameter (26) in embodiments may be an average-degrees-of-separation-parameter (128). This may be a parameter tending to measure, quantify, or otherwise provide information on whether one individual may have one or more colleagues in common with a plurality of other individuals. In some embodiments, such a parameter may be utilized to promote bringing together an individual with a plurality of other individuals who know, have familiarity with, or otherwise may have personal relationship connections with one another in a manner to beneficially advantage the contributions made by each individual to a collective métier undertaking. Average-degrees-of-separation parameters (128) may utilize colleague match values (127), such as wherein the match value may indicate whether or not given individuals have one or more colleagues in common. For example, in a team-building métier application, métier-relevant numerical input data (5) may be colleague match values (127) for a team-member candidate individual for each individual member of a team. A métier-trait-metric-parameter-specific mathematical calculation (71) may include assigning a numerical value of 1 for colleague match values that indicate a colleague match and assigning a numerical value of 0 for colleague match values that do not indicate a colleague match and taking the average of said assigned numerical values. A colleague match may be indicated by colleague match values (127) in any suitable manner consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein, for example, as wherein specific values may code for, indicate, or otherwise identify specific persons as colleagues of individuals, and a colleague match may be indicated if two or more individuals have such specific values in common. In this manner, the parameter may be seen to promote bringing together an individual with a plurality of other individuals who may know, have familiarity with, or otherwise may have personal relationship connections in common with one another.

In some embodiments, this parameter may be utilized to promote bringing together individuals with diverse, varied, or complementary professions, fields, and specialties in a manner to beneficially advantage the contributions made by each individual to a collective métier undertaking. For example, in a networking métier application, métier-relevant numerical input data (5) may be a colleague profession/field/specialty match value (100) for a networking aspirant individual, and a networking candidate individual may have a profession/field/specialty match value (100). A métier-trait-metric-parameter-specific mathematical calculation (71) may include setting an interim métier-trait-metric parameter value (28) to a numerical value of 1 if the profession/field/specialty match values indicate a profession match and a field/specialty disparity and setting the interim métier-trait-metric parameter value (28) to a numerical value of 0 in all other cases. In this manner, the parameter may be seen to promote associations of individuals in the same profession but having different fields and/or specialties, thereby potentially promoting a network of individual professionals having diverse, varied, and complementary fields and specialties.

In some embodiments, this parameter may be utilized to promote building a team having diverse, varied, or complementary professions, fields, and specialties in a manner to beneficially advantage the contributions made by each team member to the team. For example, in a team-building métier application, métier-relevant numerical input data (5) may be a profession/field/specialty match value (100) for a team-member candidate individual, and a team may have a profession/field/specialty match value (100). A métier-trait-metric-parameter-specific mathematical calculation (71) may include setting an interim métier-trait-metric parameter value (28) to a numerical value of 1 if the profession/field/specialty match values indicate a field/specialty match and a profession disparity and setting the interim métier-trait-metric parameter value (28) to a numerical value of 0 in all other cases. In this manner, the parameter may be seen to promote teams having members with common fields and specialties but differing professions, thereby potentially promoting a team having diverse, varied, and complementary professions for given fields and specialties.

Association subgroup parameter match values may be selected to correspond to any aspect, characteristic, or other quality of an individual or association subgroup consistent with the inventive principles described herein. Moreover, an association subgroups membership parameter in embodiments may have a relative parameter weight (31) that may be a numerical value. The numerical value may be any as may be suitable for a given métier or métier application. For example, the relative parameter weight (31) in various embodiments may be the numerical value 1. A métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to apply a métier-trait-metric-parameter-specific mathematical calculation (71) in embodiments may include a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to set an interim métier-trait-metric parameter value (28) to a numerical value of 1 if association parameter match values indicate an association match and to set an interim métier-trait-metric parameter value (28) to a numerical value of 0 in all other cases.

Métier-trait-metric parameters (26) in embodiments may utilize consensus success values (113) for related teams for an individual. A related team for an individual may be a team for which the individual is or was a team member, wherein the team is related to a different métier undertaking with which the individual may be involved. Such a relationship may be any as may be suitable or desirable consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein. In some embodiments, the relationship may be a match value (99) for the team and different métier undertaking that indicates a match, such as for example a field/specialty match value (114) for the team and a field/specialty match value (114) for the different métier undertaking that indicates a match. Examples of such different métier undertakings may be different related teams for which the individual may be a candidate team member, related referrals an individual may seek to make or receive, related mentorship opportunities the individual may be seeking, and the like. A consensus success value (113) for a team may be an average of feedback and/or feedback scores (97) for such team tending to measure, quantify, or otherwise provide information on the success of the team. Such feedback and/or feedback scores (97) may be given by or obtained from any individual or individuals suitable consistent with the inventive principles discussed herein, and in some embodiments may be feedback or feedback scores (97) given by or obtained from the team member individuals of the team in question. Such feedback or feedback scores (97) in embodiments may be a numerical value or values, and in some embodiments may be a numerical value of values between 0 and 1 inclusive. For multiple such feedback or feedback scores (97), embodiments may involve removing or eliminating one or more of such feedback or feedback scores (97), for example by eliminating or removing any feedback or feedback scores (97) given or obtained outside of a window of time for giving or obtaining such feedback or feedback scores (97), or for example by eliminating or removing any such feedback or feedback scores (97) falling outside of a threshold interquartile range value (which in embodiments may be +/−1.5 interquartile range for a given set of feedback or feedback scores (97)), or the like.

Métier-trait-metric parameters (26) in embodiments may be case-success parameters (115). Such parameters may tend to measure, quantify, or otherwise provide information on how likely an individual is to be successful in a métier undertaking. In some embodiments, case-success parameters (115) may utilize consensus success values (113) for related teams to measure, quantify, or otherwise provide information on such likelihood of success. Case-success parameters (115) may be utilized for any kinds of individuals engaged in any kinds of métier undertakings consistent with the inventive principles described herein.

At least one métier-trait-metric parameter (26) in embodiments may be a team-member-candidate-case-success parameter (116). This may be a parameter tending to measure, quantify, or otherwise provide information on how likely an individual is to be successful on a team engaged in a métier undertaking for which the individual is a candidate team member. For example, in a team-building métier application, métier-relevant numerical input data (5) may be one or more consensus success values (113) for related teams for a team-member candidate individual. Where there are a plurality of such consensus success values (113) for related teams, a métier-trait-metric-parameter-specific mathematical operation (98) may include creating an interim numerical data set (27) by eliminating any consensus success value (113) for related teams outside of a threshold interquartile range value for a plurality of such consensus success values (113) for related teams, which in some embodiments may be +/−1.5 interquartile range. A métier-trait-metric-parameter-specific mathematical calculation (71) may include taking the average of the consensus success values (113) for related teams of an interim numerical data set (27). Moreover, a team-member-candidate-case-success parameter (116) in embodiments may have a relative parameter weight (31) that may be a numerical value. The numerical value may be any as may be suitable for a given métier or métier application. For example, the relative parameter weight (31) in various embodiments may be the numerical value 1.

This may be a parameter tending to measure, quantify, or otherwise provide information on how likely a referral candidate individual is to be successful with respect to the matter or issue being referred. For example, in a referrals métier application, métier-relevant numerical input data (5) may be one or more consensus success values (113) for related teams for a referral candidate individual. Where there are a plurality of such consensus success values (113) for related teams, a métier-trait-metric-parameter-specific mathematical operation (98) may include creating an interim numerical data set (27) by eliminating any consensus success value (113) for related teams outside of a threshold interquartile range value for a plurality of such consensus success values (113) for related teams, which in some embodiments may be +/−1.5 interquartile range. A métier-trait-metric-parameter-specific mathematical calculation (71) may include taking the average of the consensus success values (113) for related teams of an interim numerical data set (27). Moreover, a referral-candidate-case-success parameter (117) in embodiments may have a relative parameter weight (31) that may be a numerical value. The numerical value may be any as may be suitable for a given métier or métier application. For example, the relative parameter weight (31) in various embodiments may be the numerical value 1.

At least one métier-trait-metric parameter (26) in embodiments may be a mentor-candidate-case-success parameter (118). This may be a parameter tending to measure, quantify, or otherwise provide information on how likely a mentor candidate individual is to be successful with respect to mentoring a mentee aspirant individual. For example, in a mentorship métier application, métier-relevant numerical input data (5) may be one or more consensus success values (113) for related teams for a mentor candidate individual. Where there are a plurality of such consensus success values (113) for related teams, a métier-trait-metric-parameter-specific mathematical operation (98) may include creating an interim numerical data set (27) by eliminating any consensus success value (113) for related teams outside of a threshold interquartile range value for a plurality of such consensus success values (113) for related teams, which in some embodiments may be +/−1.5 interquartile range.

As another example, in some embodiments a métier application may be referrals, and a métier-applied data valuation framework (7) may be a métier-applied referrals data valuation framework (7). Métier-trait-metric parameters (26) may be utilized for various individuals who may be involved in such referrals, such as one or more referring individuals (who may be individuals aspiring, seeking, or otherwise investigating opportunities or availabilities with other individuals in the métier to whom a matter or issue may be referred), referral candidate individuals (who may be individuals that are candidates for, available for, or otherwise suitable for receiving or handling a matter or issue referred to by another individual in the métier), and the like.

As another example, in some embodiments a métier application may be mentorship, and a métier-applied data valuation framework (7) may be a métier-applied mentorship data valuation framework (7). Métier-trait-metric parameters (26) may be utilized for various individuals who may be involved in such mentorship, such as one or more mentee aspirant individuals (who may be individuals aspiring, seeking, or otherwise investigating opportunities or relationships to receive mentorship from other individuals in the métier), mentor candidate individuals (who may be individuals that are candidates for, available for, or otherwise suitable for providing mentorship to other individuals in the métier), mentor aspirant individuals (who may be individuals aspiring, seeking, or otherwise investigating opportunities or relationships to provide mentorship to other individuals in the métier), mentee candidate individuals (who may be individuals that are candidates for, available for, or otherwise suitable for receiving mentorship from other individuals in the métier), and the like.

As another example, in some embodiments a métier application may be associations membership, and a métier-applied data valuation framework (7) may be a métier-applied associations membership data valuation framework (7). Métier-trait-metric parameters (26) may be utilized for various individuals who may be involved in such associations memberships, such as one or more association member aspirant individuals (who may be individuals aspiring, seeking, or otherwise investigating opportunities or availabilities to join, participate in, or otherwise become associated with an association pertaining to or relevant for the métier), one or more candidate associations (which may be associations of individuals that are candidates for, available for, or otherwise suitable for membership relationships or opportunities with individuals in the métier), association member candidate individuals (who may be individuals that are candidates for, available for, or otherwise suitable for membership relationships or opportunities with an association pertaining to or relevant for the métier), one or more membership aspirant associations (which may be associations aspiring, seeking, or otherwise investigating individuals in the métier to join, participate in, or otherwise become associated with the association), and the like.

Another illustrative and non-limiting embodiment for the effectuation and implementation of the methodologies and system elements described herein may involve the following. The illustrative and non-limiting example described as follows may be another example of a practical application and an improvement to the functioning of a computer as being achieved in a way fundamentally different than what a human could or would do as well as improving speed and accuracy of the same in a way that would be unachievable as a practical matter without computer implementation.

A métier may be a métier profession or a métier avocation. The method steps and system elements described herein may utilize at least one manipulable-métier-specification. Such a métier-specification may set forth skills, temperaments, qualifications, or generally characteristics or aspects required for or from an individual to most successfully fulfill a métier undertaking to which the métier-specification may apply. Manipulation of the métier-specification may involve utilizing the specification to evaluate, assess, or otherwise analyze such skills, temperaments, qualifications, or general characteristics or aspects of the individual as they may relate to such a métier undertaking. A manipulable-métier-specification may be a métier-axiom-implementing manipulable-métier-specification. Such an axiom may be a premise, contention, observation, rule, tenet, theorem, principle, or the like that may provide predictive information on whether an individual may be effective or suitable for a given métier undertaking. In this manner, the manipulable-métier-specification may be seen to provide a practical means for testing an individual against an axiom with respect to the métier undertaking. A plurality of métier-axiom-implementing manipulable-métier-specifications may be utilized in an n-dimensional métier specification space. Such an n-dimensional métier specification space may have a plurality of dimensions represented by the number n wherein each dimension may represent a skill, temperament, qualification, or general characteristic or aspect of an individual that may relate to a métier undertaking and having a corresponding métier-axiom-implementing manipulable-métier-specification for the same. In this manner, it may be seen that as many métier-axiom-implementing manipulable-métier-specifications as may be necessary or desirable to fully evaluate, assess, or otherwise analyze skills, temperaments, qualifications, or general characteristics or aspects of an individual may be utilized to an unbounded value of n. A n-dimensional métier specification space may have an aggregate number of independently manipulable métier specification dimensions greater than 10, greater than 20, greater than 50, greater than 75, greater than 100, and encompassing an unbounded number of such dimensions. The capability for independent manipulation of each such métier-axiom-implementing manipulable-métier-specification may be seen to tend to permit the full and complete evaluation, assessment, or other analysis of each individual métier-axiom-implementing manipulable-métier-specification in the métier specification space without overlap or undue influence of other métier-axiom-implementing manipulable-métier-specification in the métier specification space. Independently manipulating each such métier-axiom-implementing manipulable-métier-specification in an n-dimensional métier specification space may be done utilizing métier hypotheses logic specific for the métier specification of each such dimension in the n-dimensional métier specification space. Such métier hypotheses logic may be the bases, principles, reasoning, or other methodologies by which the axiom underlying a métier-axiom-implementing manipulable-métier-specification is implemented in such métier-axiom-implementing manipulable-métier-specification. The capability of utilizing independent hypothesis logic specific for each métier specification may be seen to permit each such métier-axiom-implementing manipulable-métier-specification to be fully customized, dedicated, and specifically applicable to the skills, temperaments, qualifications, characteristics or aspects to which such métier-axiom-implementing manipulable-métier-specification pertains without overlap or undue influence of other métier-axiom-implementing manipulable-métier-specification in the métier specification space. A processing element or elements as described herein may be a processing element or elements configured to utilize at least one manipulable-métier-specification and configured to independently manipulate each métier-axiom-implementing manipulable-métier-specification in an n-dimensional métier specification space utilizing métier hypothesis logic specific for the métier specification of each such dimension in such n-dimensional métier specification space.

In some embodiments, applicatively revaluing métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for an individual may involve identifying such individual as a métier type. A métier type may be a subset of aspects, qualities, or characteristics individuals may have within and relevant for a given métier that may distinguish them from different subsets of aspects, qualities, or characteristics that other individuals may have within and relevant for a given métier. In system embodiments, a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) may be a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to identify a métier type for an individual. For example, in some embodiments a métier may be the legal profession, and identifying a métier type for an individual may involve identifying a lawyer type for an individual, such as identifying such individual as an advocate lawyer type, identifying such individual as a rainmaker lawyer type, identifying such individual as a litigator lawyer type, identifying such individual as an inspector lawyer type, and identifying such individual as a facilitator lawyer type. In system embodiments, a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) may be configured to identify a lawyer type for an individual, to identify an individual as an advocate lawyer type, to identify an individual as a rainmaker lawyer type, to identify and individual as a litigator lawyer type, to identify an individual as an inspector lawyer type, and to identify an individual as a facilitator lawyer type.

In some embodiments, métier-relevant numerical input data (5) may be métier-relevant numerical input data (5) for métier-relevant psychological data (2) of an individual and may include a numerical assertiveness value between 0 and 1 inclusive, a numerical compassion value between 0 and 1 inclusive, a numerical creativity value between 0 and 1 inclusive, a numerical dependability value between 0 and 1 inclusive, a numerical ethicalness value between 0 and 1 inclusive, a numerical open-mindedness value between 0 and 1 inclusive, a numerical passion value between 0 and 1 inclusive, a numerical perseverance value between 0 and 1 inclusive, a numerical pragmatism value between 0 and 1 inclusive, a numerical resilience value between 0 and 1 inclusive, a numerical trust value between 0 and 1 inclusive, and a numerical wisdom value between 0 and 1 inclusive.

Given lawyer types may have given numerical value metrics in various embodiments. For example, in some embodiments a rainmaker lawyer type may have a numerical assertiveness value, a numerical pragmatism value, a numerical creativity value, and a numerical resilience value, an advocate lawyer type may have a numerical perseverance value, a numerical compassion value, a numerical ethicalness value, a numerical passion value, and a numerical trust value; a litigator lawyer type may have a numerical creativity value, a numerical pragmatism value, a numerical open-mindedness value, and a numerical wisdom value; a facilitator lawyer type may have a numerical pragmatism value, a numerical perseverance value, a numerical dependability value, and a numerical resilience value, an inspector lawyer type may have a numerical open-mindedness value, a numerical perseverance value, a numerical dependability value, and a numerical resilience value.

In some embodiments, identifying a lawyer type for an individual may involve summing the numerical value metrics for each lawyer type and identifying such individual as the lawyer type having the highest such sum. System embodiments may have a métier-applied data valuation framework processing element (8) configured to sum such numerical value metrics for each such lawyer type and identify an individual as such lawyer type having the highest such sum.

As can be easily understood from the foregoing, the basic concepts of the various embodiments of the present invention(s) may be embodied in a variety of ways. It involves both métier-methodized techniques as well as devices to accomplish the appropriate métier methodization. In this application, the métier-methodized techniques are disclosed as part of the results shown to be achieved by the various devices described and as steps which are inherent to utilization. They are simply the natural result of utilizing the devices as intended and described. In addition, while some devices are disclosed, it should be understood that these not only accomplish certain methods but also can be varied in a number of ways. Importantly, as to all of the foregoing, all of these facets should be understood to be encompassed by this disclosure.

The discussion included in this patent application is intended to serve as a basic description. The reader should be aware that the specific discussion may not explicitly describe all embodiments possible; many alternatives are implicit. It also may not fully explain the generic nature of the various embodiments of the invention(s) and may not explicitly show how each feature or element can actually be representative of a broader function or of a great variety of alternative or equivalent elements. As one example, terms of degree, terms of approximation, and/or relative terms may be used. These may include terms such as the words: substantially, about, only, and the like. These words and types of words are to be understood in a dictionary sense as terms that encompass an ample or considerable amount, quantity, size, etc. as well as terms that encompass largely but not wholly that which is specified. Further, for this application if or when used, terms of degree, terms of approximation, and/or relative terms should be understood as also encompassing more precise and even quantitative values that include various levels of precision and the possibility of claims that address a number of quantitative options and alternatives. For example, to the extent ultimately used, the existence or non-existence of a substance or condition in a particular input, output, or at a particular stage can be specified as substantially only x or substantially free of x, as a value of about x, or such other similar language. Using percentage values as one example, these types of terms should be understood as encompassing the options of percentage values that include 99.5%, 99%, 97%, 95%, 92% or even 90% of the specified value or relative condition; correspondingly for values at the other end of the spectrum (e.g., substantially free of x, these should be understood as encompassing the options of percentage values that include not more than 0.5%, 1%, 3%, 5%, 8% or even 10% of the specified value or relative condition, all whether by volume or by weight as either may be specified). In context, these should be understood by a person of ordinary skill as being disclosed and included whether in an absolute value sense or in valuing one set of or substance as compared to the value of a second set of or substance. Again, these are implicitly included in this disclosure and should (and, it is believed, would) be understood to a person of ordinary skill in this field. Where the application is described in device-oriented terminology, each element of the device implicitly performs a function. Apparatus claims may not only be included for the device described, but also method or process claims may be included to address the functions of the embodiments and that each element performs. Neither the description nor the terminology is intended to limit the scope of the claims that will be included in any subsequent patent application.

It should also be understood that a variety of changes may be made without departing from the essence of the various embodiments of the invention(s). Such changes are also implicitly included in the description. They still fall within the scope of the various embodiments of the invention(s). A broad disclosure encompassing the explicit embodiment(s) shown, the great variety of implicit alternative embodiments, and the broad methods or processes and the like are encompassed by this disclosure and may be relied upon when drafting the claims for any subsequent patent application. It should be understood that such language changes and broader or more detailed claiming may be accomplished at a later date (such as by any required deadline) or in the event the applicant subsequently seeks a patent filing based on this filing. With this understanding, the reader should be aware that this disclosure is to be understood to support any subsequently filed patent application that may seek examination of as broad a base of claims as deemed within the applicant's right and may be designed to yield a patent covering numerous aspects of embodiments of the invention(s) both independently and as an overall system.

Further, each of the various elements of the embodiments of the invention(s) and claims may also be achieved in a variety of manners. Additionally, when used or implied, an element is to be understood as encompassing individual as well as plural structures that may or may not be physically connected. This disclosure should be understood to encompass each such variation, be it a variation of an embodiment of any apparatus embodiment, a method or process embodiment, or even merely a variation of any element of these. Particularly, it should be understood that as the disclosure relates to elements of the various embodiments of the invention(s), the words for each element may be expressed by equivalent apparatus terms or method terms—even if only the function or result is the same. Such equivalent, broader, or even more generic terms should be considered to be encompassed in the description of each element or action. Such terms can be substituted where desired to make explicit the implicitly broad coverage to which embodiments of the invention(s) is entitled. As but one example, it should be understood that all actions may be expressed as a means for taking that action or as an element which causes that action. Similarly, each physical element disclosed should be understood to encompass a disclosure of the action which that physical element facilitates. Regarding this last aspect, as but one example, the disclosure of a “rank” should be understood to encompass disclosure of the act of “ranking”—whether explicitly discussed or not—and, conversely, were there effectively disclosure of the act of “ranking”, such a disclosure should be understood to encompass disclosure of a “rank” and even a “means for ranking.” Such changes and alternative terms are to be understood to be explicitly included in the description. Further, each such means (whether explicitly so described or not) should be understood as encompassing all elements that can perform the given function, and all descriptions of elements that perform a described function should be understood as a non-limiting example of means for performing that function. As other non-limiting examples, it should be understood that claim elements can also be expressed as any of: components, programming, subroutines, logic, or elements that are configured to, or configured and arranged to, provide or even achieve a particular result, use, purpose, situation, function, or operation, or as components that are capable of achieving a particular activity, result, use, purpose, situation, function, or operation. All should be understood as within the scope of this disclosure and written description.

Any patents, publications, or other references mentioned in this application for patent are hereby incorporated by reference. Any priority case(s) claimed by this application is hereby appended and hereby incorporated by reference. In addition, as to each term used it should be understood that unless its utilization in this application is inconsistent with a broadly supporting interpretation, common dictionary definitions should be understood as incorporated for each term and all definitions, alternative terms, and synonyms such as contained in the Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, second edition are hereby incorporated by reference. Finally, all references listed in the list of References To Be Incorporated By Reference In Accordance With The Provisional Patent Application or other information statement filed with the application are hereby appended and hereby incorporated by reference, however, as to each of the above, to the extent that such information or statements incorporated by reference might be considered inconsistent with the patenting of the various embodiments of invention(s) such statements are expressly not to be considered as made by the applicant(s).

Thus, the applicant(s) should be understood to have support to claim and make claims to embodiments including at least: i) each of the métier-methodized devices as herein disclosed and described, ii) the related methods disclosed and described, iii) similar, equivalent, and even implicit variations of each of these devices and methods, iv) those alternative designs which accomplish each of the functions shown as are disclosed and described, v) those alternative designs and methods which accomplish each of the functions shown as are implicit to accomplish that which is disclosed and described, vi) each feature, component, and step shown as separate and independent inventions, vii) the applications enhanced by the various systems or components disclosed, viii) the resulting products produced by such processes, methods, systems or components, ix) each system, method, and element shown or described as now applied to any specific field or devices mentioned, x) methods and apparatuses substantially as described hereinbefore and with reference to any of the accompanying examples, xi) an apparatus for performing the methods described herein comprising means for performing the steps, xii) the various combinations and permutations of each of the elements disclosed, xiii) each potentially dependent claim or concept as a dependency on each and every one of the independent claims or concepts presented, and xiv) all inventions described herein.

In addition and as to computer aspects and each aspect amenable to programming or other electronic automation, it should be understood that in characterizing these and all other aspects of the various embodiments of the invention(s)—whether characterized as a device, a capability, an element, or otherwise, because all of these can be implemented via software, hardware, or even firmware structures as set up for a general purpose computer, a programmed chip or chipset, an ASIC, application specific controller, subroutine, logic, or other known programmable or circuit specific structure-—it should be understood that all such aspects are at least defined by structures including, as person of ordinary skill in the art would well recognize: hardware circuitry, firmware, programmed application specific components, and even a general purpose computer programmed to accomplish the identified aspect. For such items implemented by programmable features, the applicant(s) should be understood to have support to claim and make a statement of invention to at least: xv) processes performed with the aid of or on a computer, machine, or computing machine as described throughout the above discussion, xvi) a programmable apparatus as described throughout the above discussion, xvii) a computer readable memory encoded with data to direct a computer comprising means or elements which function as described throughout the above discussion, xviii) a computer, machine, or computing machine configured as herein disclosed and described, xix) individual or combined subroutines, processor logic, and/or programs as herein disclosed and described, xx) a carrier medium carrying computer readable code for control of a computer to carry out separately each and every individual and combined method described herein or in any claim, xxi) a computer program to perform separately each and every individual and combined method disclosed, xxii) a computer program containing all and each combination of means for performing each and every individual and combined step disclosed, xxiii) a storage medium storing each computer program disclosed, xxiv) a signal carrying a computer program disclosed, xxv) a processor executing instructions that act to achieve the steps and activities detailed, xxvi) circuitry configurations (including configurations of transistors, gates, and the like) that act to sequence and/or cause actions as detailed, xxvii) computer readable medium(s) storing instructions to execute the steps and cause activities detailed, xxviii) the related methods disclosed and described, xxix) similar, equivalent, and even implicit variations of each of these systems and methods, xxx) those alternative designs which accomplish each of the functions shown as are disclosed and described, xxxi) those alternative designs and methods which accomplish each of the functions shown as are implicit to accomplish that which is disclosed and described, xxxii) each feature, component, and step shown as separate and independent inventions, and xxxiii) the various combinations of each of the above and of any aspect, all without limiting other aspects in addition.

With regard to claims whether now or later presented for examination, it should be understood that for practical reasons and so as to avoid great expansion of the examination burden, the applicant may at any time present only initial claims or perhaps only initial claims with only initial dependencies. The office and any third persons interested in potential scope of this or subsequent applications should understand that broader claims may be presented at a later date in this case, in a case claiming the benefit of this case, or in any continuation in spite of any preliminary amendments, other amendments, claim language, or arguments presented, thus throughout the pendency of any case there is no intention to disclaim or surrender any potential subject matter. It should be understood that if or when broader claims are presented, such may require that any relevant prior art that may have been considered at any prior time may need to be re-visited since it is possible that to the extent any amendments, claim language, or arguments presented in this or any subsequent application are considered as made to avoid such prior art, such reasons may be eliminated by later presented claims or the like. Both the examiner and any person otherwise interested in existing or later potential coverage, or considering if there has at any time been any possibility of an indication of disclaimer or surrender of potential coverage, should be aware that no such surrender or disclaimer is ever intended or ever exists in this or any subsequent application. Limitations such as arose in Hakim v. Cannon Avent Group, PLC, 479 F.3d 1313 (Fed. Cir 2007), or the like are expressly not intended in this or any subsequent related matter. In addition, support should be understood to exist to the degree required under new matter laws—including but not limited to European Patent Convention Article 123(2) and United States Patent Law 35 USC 132 or other such laws—to permit the addition of any of the various dependencies or other elements presented under one independent claim or concept as dependencies or elements under any other independent claim or concept. In drafting any claims at any time whether in this application or in any subsequent application, it should also be understood that the applicant has intended to capture as full and broad a scope of coverage as legally available. To the extent that insubstantial substitutes are made, to the extent that the applicant did not in fact draft any claim so as to literally encompass any particular embodiment, and to the extent otherwise applicable, the applicant should not be understood to have in any way intended to or actually relinquished such coverage as the applicant simply may not have been able to anticipate all eventualities; one skilled in the art, should not be reasonably expected to have drafted a claim that would have literally encompassed such alternative embodiments.

Further, if or when used, the use of the transitional phrases “comprising”, “including”, “containing”, “characterized by” and “having” are used to maintain the “open-end” claims herein, according to traditional claim interpretation including that discussed in MPEP § 2111.03. Thus, unless the context requires otherwise, it should be understood that the terms “comprise” or variations such as “comprises” or “comprising”, “include” or variations such as “includes” or “including”, “contain” or variations such as “contains” and “containing”, “characterized by” or variations such as “characterizing by”, “have” or variations such as “has” or “having”, are intended to imply the inclusion of a stated element or step or group of elements or steps but not the exclusion of any other element or step or group of elements or steps. Such terms should be interpreted in their most expansive form so as to afford the applicant the broadest coverage legally permissible.

The use of the phrase, “or any other claim” is used to provide support for any claim to be dependent on any other claim, such as another dependent claim, another independent claim, a previously listed claim, a subsequently listed claim, and the like. As one clarifying example, if a claim were dependent “on claim 9 or any other claim” or the like, it could be re-drafted as dependent on claim 1, claim 8, or even claim 11 (if such were to exist) if desired and still fall with the disclosure. It should be understood that this phrase also provides support for any combination of elements in the claims and even incorporates any desired proper antecedent basis for certain claim combinations such as with combinations of method, apparatus, process, and the like claims.

With respect to the drawings, it should be understood that these present only initial views, mirror views such as left, right, top, bottom, front, and back should be understood as within the realm of this disclosure as may be appropriate for design or industrial design protections. Furthermore, any aspect and any portion of such drawings should be understood as potentially not within the scope of any then-made claim such as by then dashing any portion desired. And such drawings should be understood as including drawing elements such as rectangles, circles, ellipses, ovals, squares, and the like as particular side or other views as well understood from the existing drawings.

Finally, any claims set forth at any time are hereby incorporated by reference as part of this description of the various embodiments of the application, and the applicant expressly reserves the right to use all of or a portion of such incorporated content of such claims as additional description to support any of or all of the claims or any element or component thereof, and the applicant further expressly reserves the right to move any portion of or all of the incorporated content of such claims or any element or component thereof from the description into the claims or vice-versa as necessary to define the matter for which protection is sought by this application or by any subsequent continuation, division, or continuation-in-part application thereof, or to obtain any benefit of, reduction in fees pursuant to, or to comply with the patent laws, rules, or regulations of any country or treaty, and such content incorporated by reference shall survive during the entire pendency of this application including any subsequent continuation, division, or continuation-in-part application thereof or any reissue or extension thereon.
