Problems can be categorized according to whether starting state, ending state, and allowable transformations are well-defined or ill-defined. Proving a Euclidean Theorem is an example of a completely well-defined problem while designing a house, a useful software system, a new business process, and writing a teaching story are examples of completely ill-defined problems. There are many software tools for helping people solve various types of welldefined problems; however, relatively few tools exist for helping people solve ill-defined problems such a
