How GQM (Goal Question Metric) Works in SolveRight

When you run a decision through SolveRight, GQM (Goal Question Metric) is one of up to 155 frameworks that analyze your options simultaneously. The AI extractor identifies 3 key data points from your decision description, then the logic-based rubric computes a normalized 0-100 score for each option. This score is combined with results from other frameworks to produce your overall ranking, with contradiction detection highlighting where GQM (Goal Question Metric)disagrees with other methodologies.

GQM (Goal Question Metric) — Frequently Asked Questions

What is GQM (Goal Question Metric)?+
Operationalizes software quality goals through questions answered by specific metrics. In SolveRight, GQM (Goal Question Metric) uses a logic-based rubric to compute a normalized 0–100 score for each option.
When should I use GQM (Goal Question Metric)?+
GQM (Goal Question Metric) is best suited for Technical Evaluation decisions. It evaluates factors like goals, questions, metrics, making it valuable when you need evaluating architectures, tools, and engineering trade-offs.
How does SolveRight use GQM (Goal Question Metric)?+
SolveRight runs GQM (Goal Question Metric) alongside up to 154 other frameworks simultaneously. The AI extractor identifies 3 key data points from your decision description, then the logic-based rubric computes deterministic scores. If GQM (Goal Question Metric) disagrees with other frameworks, contradiction detection highlights the divergence.
