Team 12: IDM (Important decision Making)

To Make Any Possible Important Decision Easier and Faster To Make

Comment

Inspiration

IDM's Inspiration for this project was a book called Millionaire's Fastlane that showed us the importance of Decision Making, and we tried it out. The process of decision making was too long for a person, which consisted of grabbing a pen and paper, then creating a table, addressing the options to pick, inserting the criteria, giving points, and then adding it up. So we had the inspiration to make it simpler and more comfortable. Selecting a career pathway for our school courses was difficult, so this model will make choices easier for people who had similar problems in their day-to-day lives.

What it does

It makes decisions based on your answers. With simplistic programming, we can promote lifelong learning by assisting people with deciding where to begin a new skill or career:

  1. The user sets the options between which they want to decide.
  2. They set the relevant information for the criteria. The Decision-Making process may all seem like a lengthy process, but the IDM makes it short with a few fill-in-the-blanks.
  3. The user rates each criterion for the options, and the website adds it up, and the more beneficial or useful option is displayed within milliseconds.

How we built it

We built the project by using a diversity of programming languages, such as HTML, CSS, and Python. First of all, we designed the central part of the project using python in Reply, then decided to implement the embed code from the python project into Glitch, an HTML, JS, and CSS programming website, where I then designed the website with basic HTML and CSS.

Challenges we ran into

We came to know that this matrix was a completely new idea, and we were heading into uncharted "technological territory". At first, we were a bit wary about our concept, but we gathered our wits, kept optimistic about our project, and moved on. We were also low on time with only two days to complete our program and pitch, but after working for 8 hours a day, we could achieve our Hack and do a complete test-run before the submission.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our successful pitch and innovative idea that is successfully organized. Our operation worked like a well-oiled machine, and this caused us to have efficient results. We are proud of our unique concept that brings value to the industry and solves modern-day lifelong learning problems. We feel relieved to know that with our program, people worldwide will benefit from it and make better and reliable decisions in their daily lives.

What we learned

We learned that obstacles are inevitable, but as long as we have the mindset to subdue them, we can succeed and exceed our goals. We also learned more about small problems that annoy people's daily lives that have not been looked into, so we decided to create a solution for one of those problems. We learned how to find issues in many places and opened our minds to possibilities waiting for us to explore.

What's next for IDM (Important decision Making)

We will promote our application through social media and news networks and find funding from investors that believe in our ideology. Due to a shortage of time, our website is very primitive and underdeveloped, which we will build and polish upon. Then we will release our application to the public and help the average person make important decisions 550% faster than usual (Actual number).

Actual Calculation = 30min/5:30min x 100% = 550%
