Abstract:
The invention provides techniques for performing hardware realization process assessment (HRPA). In an illustrative embodiment, a processing system receives response data, in response to a request for HRPA information, from users associated with a company, organization or other entity to be evaluated. The system transforms the response data in accordance with a predefined transformation including, e. g. , a transformation of particular consensus responses to corresponding numerical values, and an averaging of the numerical values across a given analysis category. The system retrieves stored calibration data representative of responses of one or more related entities, and then generates a graphical display including a plot indicative of the transformed response data for the users associated with the entity and including at least a subset of the retrieved stored calibration data. For example, the graphical display may plot the response data in a format which provides simultaneous display of multiple HRPA categories, and which is indicative of upper, lower and middle quartiles of transformed response data from the other related entities.
