Abstract:
A web-based system standardizes data from a plurality of different programs to facilitate design review comparisons in a cost-effective and reliable manner. The system includes a client system including a browser, a data storage device for storing information, and a server system coupled to the client system and the database. The server system is configured to store data in the data storage device in a standardized format, generate characteristics unique to the data input using pre-determined calculations, compare the characteristics to pre-determined target values, quantify shifts of the characteristics from respective target values, and generate standardized graphical representations of the data using based on the generated characteristics.
