Tools for Value-Driven Design
=============================

[![Build Status][master-build-status]][azure-pipeline]


Tools intended to help with modelling decisions in a value centric
design process. The intent is to keep this as generic as possible, as
some of this decision modelling is suited to generic decision-making,
non-design activities with a little massaging.

Features
-------

  - Concept Design Analysis (CODA) method implementation
  - Requirements weighting with a Binary Weighting Matrix
  - Programmatic or Spreadsheet based model creation (via Excel
    workbooks or Google Sheets).

Install
-------

	pip install vdd

Documentation
-------

Currently just stored in the repo.

  - [Using Google Sheets for requirements matrices][binwm-gsheets]
  - tbc

Roadmap
-------

![Azure DevOps builds (branch)][develop-build-status]

  - Model sets for comparative work (rather than a single set of
	characteristic parameter values)
  - Improved visualisation
  - Export CODA models to Excel template
  - House of Quality style requirement/characteristic weighting
  - Pandas everywhere (v1.x)
