50 Parameters (Matrix 2010)
Parameters used to define the contradiction.
Weight of Moving Object
Mass or gravitational force is the cause of the object's movement. Motion is a situation where there is relative displacement between two or more parts related to the problem to be solved; it can be linear displacement or rotational motion.

Length/Angle of Moving Object
Any length or angular measurement related to the displacement or mobility of the object.
Length/Angle of Stationary Object
Any length or angular measurement related to the immobility of the object. Stationary is a situation where there is no relative displacement between two or more parts related to the problem to be solved.
Area of Moving Object
Any dimension related to surfaces or surface area. These can be internal or external surfaces. Motion is a situation where there is relative displacement between two or more parts related to the problem to be solved.
Area of Stationary Object
Any dimension related to surfaces or surface area. These can be internal or external surfaces. Stationary is a situation where there is no relative displacement between two or more parts related to the problem to be solved.
Volume of Moving Object
Anything related to the measurement of volume occupied by the object or the space surrounding the object. Motion is a situation where there is relative displacement between two or more parts related to the problem to be solved.
Volume of Stationary Object
Anything related to the measurement of volume occupied by the object or the space surrounding the object. Stationary is a situation where there is no relative displacement between two or more parts related to the problem to be solved.
Shape
The contour or profile (internal or external) of a part or object required for Ergonomics and functionality rather than aesthetic reasons. Ergonomics or Human Factors is the scientific discipline studying the relationship between humans and the working environment, especially in terms of 'use'. To make products most suitable for users, designers must ensure equipment and working environments suit the capabilities and limitations of those using them.
Amount of Substance
The total, quantity, or count of materials, substances, or parts of the system.
Amount of Information
The total, quantity, or count of the system's information resources.
Duration of Action of Moving Object
The time the object takes to perform an action. This action can occur over a very short or very long period.
Duration of Action of Stationary Object
The time the object takes to perform an action. This action can occur over a very short or very long period.
Speed
The velocity or rate of an object or the speed of a process or action.
Force/Torque
Interaction that changes the state of an object.
Energy Used by Moving Object
A measure of the object's capacity to perform work. This parameter focuses on the actual energy used (not efficiency).
Energy Used by Stationary Object
A measure of the object's capacity to perform work. This parameter focuses on the actual energy used (not efficiency).
Power
Work performed per unit of time. The rate of energy usage.
Stress/Pressure
Force acting on a unit of area. Stress is the effect of force on an object. Stress can be tension or compression, static or dynamic.
Strength
The range (extent) to which an object can resist changes caused by applied force. Strength is the limit of elasticity, elongation, or maximum impact intensity.
Stability of the Object's Composition
The integrity of the object; the relationship of components that make up the object. This parameter can apply at the macroscopic level (components) or microscopic level (atoms). Chemical dissociation, decomposition, and entropy increase should be considered when the problem relates to durability.
Temperature
The measurement or thermal state of the object. It includes thermal parameters such as specific heat, thermal conductivity, thermal radiation, and thermal convection.
Illumination Intensity
Light flux (color, brightness, intensity...) per unit area. This parameter applies to both the brightness of the source and the illumination of the object.
Function Efficiency
Efficiency related to the use of the main function or functions performed by the object.
Loss of Substance
The loss or removal of elements of the object or its surroundings such as matter, materials, products, etc.
Loss of Time
Time inefficiency, meaning waiting or delays.
Loss of Energy
The loss or waste of energy due to not contributing to useful activities.
Loss of Information
The loss or elimination of data from or to the object. This data relates to any of the 5 human senses.
Noise
Issues related to interference generated or received by the object or the surrounding environment. Noise in this context can be good or bad. It can relate to physical noise or noise in data.
Harmful Emissions
Any form of pollution or emission released into the environment by the object.
Other Harmful Effects Generated by System
Internal impacts (effects) of the object that reduce the operational efficiency (quality) of the object or act inefficiently on the surrounding environment.
Adaptability/Versatility
The extent to which the object can respond to external changes.
Compatibility/Connectability
The extent to which the object can connect and is compatible with other objects.
Ease of Operation
The extent to which the user can control or operate the object easily.
Reliability/Robustness
The ability to perform functions as designed, in intended ways and conditions. It includes durability and issues related to performance or performance degradation of the object over extended periods.
Repairability
Quality characteristics such as convenience, comfort, simplicity, and time to repair failures or defects of the object.
Security
The ability of the object to protect itself against unauthorized access/use/attack or other adverse effects.
Safety/Vulnerability
The ability of the object to resist adverse effects from external factors.
Aesthetics/Appearance
The visual aesthetic appearance of the object.
Other Harmful Effects Acting On the System
Impacts (effects) from the surrounding environment that reduce the operational efficiency (quality) of the object.
Manufacturability
Issues related to production, manufacturing, assembly, and integration with the object.
Manufacture Precision/Consistency
The degree to which the existing characteristics of the object match the required special or specific characteristics. Accuracy.
Automation
The ability of the object to perform functions without external control or intervention.
Productivity
The quantity of useful functions (added value) or activities performed by the object per unit of time. Useful results per unit of time. Cost per unit of result.
System Complexity
The number and diversity of elements (parts) and links within the object. Complexity is also understood as difficulties in controlling and using the object.
Control Complexity
Control complexity is the complexity of the control system (physical components or algorithms of the system) in the process of verifying the execution of the object's functions.
Positive Intangibles
Intangible factors defined by human emotional reactions to the object. Positive intangibles are factors that drive the motivation to seek satisfaction. In many industrial sectors, this motivation increases intangible factors through the customer's action of purchasing or not purchasing the product or service.
Negative Intangibles
Intangible factors defined by human emotional reactions to the object. Negative intangibles are factors that drive the motivation to 'avoid pain'. In many industrial sectors, this motivation increases negative intangible factors through the customer's action of purchasing or not purchasing the product or service.
Ability to Detect/Measure
The ability to perform measurements or detection on the object despite difficulties, such as: complexity, cost, time consumption, need for personnel to check or analyze activities.
Measurement Precision
The accuracy of the measured value. Measurement error.
