Reason Enhanced

An innovative PC program with unique contextual capabilities, Reason, has been enhanced. Execware's patented technology supports an analytic process named contextual data modeling (CDM) that helps individuals extract more information from a small data set than can be perceived by other means. The center of CDM is the user's brain rather than the software. An emailed comment from a cognitive scientist, quoted more fully on the Execware website, closes with "...the genius of your methodology".

Reason is a thinking tool for people engaged in investigation, research, analysis, and even planning and monitoring. To help users make the most sense out of the many 'things' they deal with, human reasoning controls the software. Those things, called 'items' in Reason, are listed on self-designed dynamic data tables. Sorting manually to see, for example, the 120 permutations, i.e. column arrangements, of a 5-column table is clearly impractical. The examination of every possible permutation is made easy by patented automatic sorting.

In the varying patterns of parameter values and in different sequences of the item names, viewing every permutation ensures the Reason user of not missing any significant relationships, good or bad.

The Reason user can also quickly see much more data about an item than is visible on the data table. Clicking an item name on the data table opens the 'item screen' that was used to enter the item's data into Reason. It contains an expandable field that can hold about a page of text. Names of related items entered by the user in a list can be clicked to open their item screens. 3 short fields called 'markers' are added to the item by newly released Reason 1.1. While browsing, the user can enter characters or colors for visual reference, automatically at a selected speed, a virtual pile of the item screens of all the items listed on the data table.
