Search engines
For creating search engines (basic online version, principle of operation) we developed an innovative and rigorous methodology (PDF) based on measuring how far items are away form being a Pareto optimum. Thus we call the central quantitative concept of the methodology and of our custom-made search engines Pareto optimality.
Advantages of sorting by Pareto optimality
Our search engines sort data by Pareto optimality and guarantee
- maximisation of choice and diversity of the results,
- respect of the user's preferences,
- respect of economic common sense by giving a higher value to rarer characteristics,
- scores and sub-scores that are easy to understand.

The source code of the generic search engine is available against a license fee. Customisation and integration into your production environment will be provided as a service.
Other uses of the Pareto optimality based methodology
The methodology based on sorting by Pareto optimality is flexible and allows for intuitive parameterisation via two mathematical structures.
- A measure indicates the importance, size or likelihood of objects,
- a transitive relation indicates preferences, dependence or causality.
Besides search engines the underlying methodology can therefore also be used for
- duplicate detection tools,
- outlier detection tools,
- statistical tests,
- statistical indicators,
- risk management and project management tools.
