Recommendation tools
Help people compare choices by focusing on the needs, preferences, and constraints that matter to them.
When this can help
People often repeat the same searches and comparisons to find options that fit their needs. A list can be long while still leaving out the detail that determines whether an option is suitable.
A recommendation workflow needs a defined set of options, useful information about them, and clear criteria. Start with a choice where better filtering can help, while leaving the final decision with the person.
- Understand the needCollect preferences and distinguish requirements from nice-to-haves.
- Compare suitable optionsFilter against agreed constraints and rank the remaining choices using available information.
- Explain the shortlistShow relevant differences and missing details so the person can decide.
What we would build together
A matching criteria map
Define the sources, required constraints, preferences, and handling of missing data.
A comparison experience
Present a manageable shortlist with reasons and relevant tradeoffs.
Quality and freshness checks
Test representative preferences, empty results, and outdated information. Agree how sources are maintained.
Illustrative example
Choosing a suitable meeting venue
A workflow could narrow an approved venue list by group size, location, and required facilities, then compare the remaining options. Unconfirmed availability or accessibility details would be flagged for a person to check before booking.
A possible application, not a reported customer deployment or measured result.
Human review
What still needs a person
A recommendation depends on the quality and freshness of its sources. Ranking does not confirm availability or guarantee suitability. The workflow should disclose missing information and never relax a required constraint without asking.
Before we start
What happens when nothing fits?
Show that no option meets the stated requirements and ask which preferences, if any, can change. Do not present an unsuitable option as a match.
Can this work on a device?
Some filtering and ranking can run locally. The right approach depends on data size, update needs, device capabilities, and privacy requirements; it is not assumed from a demonstration.
