🔍 TRIZ Contradiction Solver Prompt Template (old)
🧠 Use for: Complex, blocked, or paradoxical problems
I'm dealing with a complex problem that may involve a contradiction:
[STATE PROBLEM CLEARLY]
Here’s the contradiction:
[WHEN I improve X, Y becomes worse. But I want both.]
Please help me apply TRIZ methodology. Use relevant principles from the TRIZ 40 Inventive Principles to propose possible directions, analogies, or reframed solutions.
Focus on:
- Abstract contradictions
- Physical/systemic tradeoffs
- Unconventional reframing - focus on oftentimes what you need, is not what you want
Bonus: If the problem is digital or abstract (not mechanical), prioritize relevant principles like:
- Segmentation
- Prior Action
- Inversion
- Copying
- Local Quality
- Feedback
Example use:
"How to exchange a public encryption key hidden in an image (steganography), ensuring the key remains intact but undetectable."

suggest what i should choose for Improve: and what for Without worsening
Example respond (cutted):
✅ Suggested TRIZ Contradiction Mapping for your dating app
Parameter to Improve: 27 – Reliability (match quality / success rate)
Parameter to Keep Without Worsening: 19 – Use of energy by moving object (user engagement / time spent in app)
This maps perfectly to your central problem: “make the app actually work well for users without reducing their engagement.”

All TRIZ tools
You are a TRIZ analyst. Do not invent new hardware, software, or intelligence or external systems. Work only with the system, environment, and resources that already exist.
I will provide a concrete system and a problematic function. Follow these steps strictly and do NOT skip any step. Follow these steps strictly:
1. FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS
- List all functions of the system in verb–object form.
- Include **useful, harmful, and excessive functions**.
- Identify which functions consume energy, attention, or structure unnecessarily.
2. RESOURCES
- List all resources already present in the system or environment that could perform functions.
- Exclude any resources that require new components or external intelligence.
- Identify resources that are currently harmful or wasted but could be reused.
3. SMART LITTLE PEOPLE (SLP)
- Imagine tiny agents that perform the listed functions.
- Each little person can only push, block, allow, or signal. They cannot plan or decide.
- Identify which little people could be removed, merged, or reassigned.
4. IDEAL FINAL RESULT (IFR)
- Formulate a harsh IFR: how could the main function be delivered **without any harmful or excessive functions**, using only existing resources.
- Make it as “ideal” as possible, removing all work, cost, or effort from the system.
5. CONTRADICTIONS (MANDATORY)
- Derive contradictions directly from the IFR and FA.
- Formulate at least:
a) One TECHNICAL CONTRADICTION (improving vs worsening feature)
b) One PHYSICAL CONTRADICTION (same element must have opposite properties)
- Identify the element, property, and context for each contradiction.
6. TRIZ PARAMETERS & MATRIX MAPPING
- Map the technical contradiction to TRIZ parameters.
- Propose 2–3 possible parameter pairs with justification.
- Do NOT select a final pair; leave that for human review.
7. EVOLUTIONARY TRENDS
- Map the system or function to the 8 TRIZ Evolutionary
- Current system position
- Direction of evolution
- How resolving the contradiction would move the system along the trend
- Trends:
1. Increasing Ideality
2. Increasing Dynamism / Flexibility
3. Transition to the Micro-Level
4. Increasing Controllability / Feedback
5. Use of S-Field or Multi-Field
6. Integration / Combining Functions
7. Transition to Non-Contact Actions
8. Use of Harmful Functions as Useful
- For each trend, suggest if the system is moving toward or away from it, and potential improvements.
8. OUTPUT
- Provide results in **structured lists and tables**, making it easy to use for TRIZ contradictions and solution generation.
- Avoid vague or generic recommendations. Be precise and concise.
SYSTEM:
MAIN FUNCTION (why it exists):
UNWANTED EFFECT / PAIN:
WHERE it happens (time/place/context):
WHO interacts with it:
Example:
Example:
- SYSTEM Insurance-based healthcare / insurance agency system
- MAIN FUNCTION (why it exists): To transfer individual risk to a collective mechanism so that:
- Individuals receive financial and operational support when adverse events occur
- The system remains economically sustainable over time
- (Short TRIZ phrasing: Ensure compensation and recovery in case of insured events.)
- UNWANTED EFFECT / PAIN
- Legitimate claims are denied, delayed, or obstructed
- Users experience high uncertainty about whether protection will actually work when needed
- The system becomes adversarial instead of protective
- Trust erosion leads to defensive behavior (over-documenting, legal conflict, churn)
- (TRIZ language: The system performs its main function incompletely or unreliably.)
- WHERE it happens (time / place / context)
- At the moment of claim activation (critical time)
- During:
- Claim evaluation
- Authorization of treatment
- Reimbursement decisions
- Especially under:
- High-cost claims
- Ambiguous or complex medical cases
- Long-term or chronic conditions
- (TRIZ note: the problem occurs at peak system load, not during normal operation.)
- WHO interacts with it
- Insured user / patient
Wants fast, reliable recovery and financial security.
- Insurance company (intermediary)
Wants to minimize payouts while maintaining profitability and regulatory compliance.
- Service provider (doctor / hospital)
Wants to maximize income, minimize liability, and manage workload.
- Regulators / legal system (indirect actors)
Enforce rules after the fact, usually too late to affect the immediate outcome.
This is not a mechanical failure but a goal-alignment failure:
- The main function exists
- The structure exists
- But control logic is misaligned at the moment of execution
- In TRIZ terms: The system works structurally, but fails functionally under stress.
