Abstract: A method for identifying excursions to general solutions provided by a solution network which includes identifying excursions to a general solution on a system basis, saving the excursions within the solution network on a system basis, and when accessing the solution network, searching the solution network to determine whether an excursion solution exists.

Abstract: A method for verifying solutions provided by a solution network which includes automatically associating a call from a customer with a solution that is provided to the customer to solve an issue, waiting a predetermined amount of time to verify whether the customer contacts the solution network again and indicates a successful resolution to the issue if no contact is made by the customer within the predetermined amount of time.

Abstract: A method for searching potential solutions within a solution network. The method includes authoring a solution to solve an issue, storing the solution within a decision tree relating to the issue, and searching the solution network based upon the issue. The searching includes accessing the decision tree relating to the issue.

Abstract: A method for creating knowledge in a solution network. The method includes generating knowledge for a solution network based upon an interaction with a user of the solution network and saving the knowledge for the solution network while interacting with the user.
