Abstract: A system and method for facilitating facilitating management of innovations and accompanying constituent concepts. An example method includes providing a first user option to define one or more alternate solution categories for one or more concepts, wherein each alternate solution category is associated with an innovation comprising a structure of concepts, and wherein an alternate solution category is associated with an alternate solution structure; providing a second user option to define a concept as an alternate solution concept belonging to an alternate solution category; and associating one or more metric attributes with an alternate solution concept. The user options may be provided via a user interface display screen with additional user interface controls for generating analysis pertaining to alternative concept structures in association with one or more metrics, such as supply chain risk, cost, compliance, fulfillment, and/or other product objectives or metrics.
