Abstract
A system and method for selection and explanation of solutions is provided. A hierarchy of aggregation factors is maintained for evaluating at least a partial solution. Competing solutions are generated and each solution includes at least a partial solution. Scores are calculated for each of the aggregation factors for each competing solution. A total evaluation score is calculated for each competing solution based on the scores for at least one of the aggregation factors. The competing solution with the best evaluation score is selected and a gist is generated. The gist is a narrative comparing the selected solution with the non-selected solutions based on the at least one aggregation factor. The gist is provided to a user as a rationale for selection of the solution.
