Stage 5 Methodological knowledge acquisition

Specifically, the methodological report should address several issues, which usually cause problems even for experienced TRIZ users  

Interpretation of inventive patterns The available books do provide examples of how various principles are used, but these examples are grossly insufficient, and there are usually very few in the domain close to the problem domain. Therefore, creating additional examples for private or general use is strongly recommended. The Author also believes that creating mini collections of examples of how a given principle is used in several domains would be most appreciated by the community of TRIZ users. 

Assessment of the inventive power of inventive patterns This is a very subjective and individual matter, but even soft information regarding the inventive power of the individual principles would be most helpful in all situations when it is clear what kind of inventions is desired. For example, sometimes only the most sophisticated inventions are sought because a company is trying to build a patent fence. In other cases, only relatively simple inventions are sought because a company needs patented inventions for immediate use. 

Finding inventive patterns that failed Unfortunately, there are probably are such patterns, which may not work in all domains. Therefore, if a given user operates in a specific domain, any information about patterns that should be avoided would be appreciated. 

Interpretation of technical contradictions Sometimes understanding a technical contradiction in a specific domain is difficult, if not
