Solution Finder Overview

What Solution Finder does

Solution Finder helps tenant users describe a real technical scenario and compare it against published solution versions. The workflow starts with a visible category chip, loads the matching runtime template, asks only the relevant questions, and returns ranked results.

• Category chips are loaded from backend data and choose the correct entry point.
• Runtime templates define the actual questions, option sets, visibility rules, and payload paths.
• The user answers concrete scenario questions, such as opening shape, diameter, service type, material, insulation, or fire rating.
• The backend evaluates active solution versions and returns exact matches or near matches.
• Detailed solution pages use the selected result plus the same answers, not a generic version lookup.

What to expect in the workflow

1. 1
   Choose the right category

   Start by selecting the chip that best matches the work, such as a penetration, ventilation, or other available solution family.

2. 2
   Answer the guided questions

   Complete the visible questions in order. Follow-up questions appear only when earlier answers make them relevant.

3. 3
   Submit for matching

   When the required visible questions are complete, submit the answers to find matching solutions.

4. 4
   Review results

   Start with exact matches. If none are available, review near matches with care and check the reasons before using them.

5. 5
   Open details before acting

   Use the detail view to review materials, supplier information, installation notes, limitations, references, and media.

When to use it

• Use Solution Finder when you need a guided way to narrow down product or material solutions.
• Use it when the answer depends on scenario facts such as construction element, opening dimensions, service type, material, or fire-rating requirements.
• Do not use it as a replacement for final engineering judgment, manufacturer documentation, or project-specific approval requirements.
