Find Cross-Industry Functional Solutions

Purpose

Convert a domain-specific technical problem into domain-neutral functions and constraints, search patents and technical evidence across industries, screen candidate mechanisms, and recommend testable transfer paths. Deliver a traceable Markdown report or self-contained HTML report when requested.

This workflow generates technical analogies and hypotheses. It does not prove feasibility, patentability, freedom to operate, or commercial readiness.

Use this skill when

• a team has a concrete technical problem but does not know which outside fields may contain solutions;
• the user asks for function-oriented, effect-oriented, or TRIZ-inspired search;
• a search must move beyond product names and the current industry's vocabulary;
• patents/technical solutions need to be grouped by principle and assessed for transfer;
• the user wants queries, entity/family consolidation rules, a result list, and validation actions.

Do not invoke it for a routine keyword search, a formal FTO opinion, or an invention-claim draft without a cross-industry transfer objective.
