Description:

This Master Prompt would focus on identifying and rigorously formulating the contradictions that prevent a technical, product, process, service or organizational system from improving. It would guide researchers in distinguishing technical contradictions from physical contradictions, identifying improving and worsening characteristics, translating domain-specific problems into TRIZ parameters and determining whether the apparent conflict represents a genuine inventive contradiction rather than an ordinary design constraint or optimization problem.

A major emphasis would be placed on preserving traceability between the real-world problem → system characteristics → conflicting requirements → generalized TRIZ contradiction. Researchers would be guided to avoid forcing every problem into a contradiction structure when the evidence does not support one. This theme is strongly supported by the uploaded literature, where contradiction formulation is used across architecture, product design, process engineering, sustainability and other fields; some studies also adapt the classical contradiction parameters to improve domain-specific applicability.
