The key component used to quantify feedback is a scoring tool with a set of criteria and standards used to assess the legislation or legislative document.

Claims (48)

1. A computer method in a document management system for analyzing, critiquing and quantifying government legislation or legislative documents including statutes, bills, by-laws, proposals and amendments, comprising:

using declarative statements in order to objectify feedback;

producing an overall grade by using a running calculation of each section within the scoring system;

merging the quantified opinion of multiple users;

providing a standard set of criteria on which to form a fundamental basis for agreement;

applying descriptive tags to selected text for the purposes of tracking a reviewer's opinion;

calculating each descriptive tag to quantify the reviewer's overall feedback;

tagging selected text with frequent words/comments;

choosing selected text for comments and feedback;

creating a detailed computerized document, in the form of a report that can be printed, collaborated and distributed electronically;

compiling quantified feedback for tracking trends, searching, archiving and enhancing the system database.
