ii. a module for displaying a screen set having information concerning the topic;
iii. a module for displaying a screen set soliciting a set of input data, and inputting the set of input data;
iv. a module for determining and displaying a current recommendation, wherein the recommendation is generated by iteratively processing the input data through at least a portion of the algorithm;
v. a module for providing the option to accept the current recommendation as a final recommendation and ending the processing;
vi. a module for displaying a screen set soliciting additional input data and for modifying previous input data as desired when the current recommendation is not accepted as a final recommendation, wherein the contents of said screen set are dependent on and determined by said module for determining and displaying a current recommendation, and inputting said additional input data or modified previous input data; and
vii. a module for displaying a screen or a screen set showing a final recommendation or analysis.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one computer application comprises a web application.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the computational logic includes arithmetic logic for mathematically operating on numerical input data to derive numerical processed data.
4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the computational logic includes operations logic for determining conclusions based at least in part on non-numeric input data.
5. The system of claim 2 , wherein the presentation logic includes navigational logic for establishing a set of screens having a determined organization scheme based on results determined by the computational logic using the input data.
6. The system of claim 2 , wherein the presentation logic includes display logic for establishing a format for display of an established screen sets.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one computer application comprises a downloadable application.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the algorithm includes computational logic for processing the input data and presentation logic for selecting screen sets and organizations for display.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the algorithm is used with a relational database.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein screen sets are presented as one or more pages.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein screen sets are presented as one or more pages, and at least one of the pages is displayed only after certain input is made by the user.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein a recommendation is based in part directly upon input from the user and in part upon information derived from input from the user.
13. A system for assisting a user in a process of decision-making or analysis involving a topic comprising:
a. a computer, wherein the computer comprises a display screen;
b. one or more computer applications comprising:
i. a module for displaying a screen set soliciting a set of input data, and inputting said set of input data, wherein at least some of the data is characterized with a value representing a degree of certainty regarding the data;
ii. optionally, a module for processing the input data through at least a portion of an algorithm to determine further content to display, input data to solicit, or modification of previous input data to enable; and
iii. a module for displaying a screen or screen set showing a current recommendation or analysis where the degree of certainty regarding the input data is reflected in the recommendation, calculations, or output; wherein said module optionally provides information or links to modify those inputs which are determined to have one or more of: the highest importance and thus impact on the current recommendations; the greatest effect on the calculated certainty of the current recommendation or analysis; and the greatest effect on the calculated certainty of a particular calculated result.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein at least one computer application comprises a web application.
15. The system of claim 13 , wherein at least one computer application comprises a downloadable application.
16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the value representing a degree of certainty regarding the data is input or calculated by a user.
17. The system of claim 13 , wherein the value representing a degree of certainty regarding the data is assigned or calculated by the application.
18. The system of claim 13 , wherein screen sets are presented as one or more pages.
19. The system of claim 18 , wherein screen sets are presented as one or more pages, and at least one of the pages is displayed only after certain input is made by the user.
20. The system of claim 13 , wherein a recommendation is based in part directly upon input from the user and in part upon information derived from input from the user.
21. Non-transitory computer readable media encoded with a computer application including instructions executable by the operating system of a computer, wherein said instructions create an environment for assisting a user in a process of decision-making or analysis involving a topic, wherein said environment comprises:
a. a module for establishing an algorithm;
b. a module for displaying a screen set having information concerning the topic;
c. a module for displaying a screen set soliciting a set of input data, and inputting the set of input data;
d. a module for determining and displaying a current recommendation, wherein the recommendation is generated by iteratively processing the input data through at least a portion of the algorithm;
e. a module for providing the option to accept the current recommendation as a final recommendation and ending the processing;
f. a module for displaying a screen set soliciting additional input data and for modifying previous input data as desired when the current recommendation is not accepted as a final recommendation, wherein the contents of said screen set are dependent on and determined by said module for determining and displaying a current recommendation, and inputting said additional input data or modified previous input data; and
g. a module for displaying a screen or a screen set showing a final recommendation or analysis.
