Abstract

One aspect of the present invention is a computer-implemented method for attributing applicable condition code(s) to a field claim. One preferred method includes inputting a text comment associated with the field claim, inputting a plurality of condition codes and at least four keyword combinations of at least two non-sequential keywords for each condition code, and for each condition code, attributing the condition code as an applicable condition code if at least one keyword combination for the condition code is included in the text comment. The applicable condition code(s) can be relied upon by individuals to at least identify failure mode(s) associated with field claims.
