derivative-resources

TRIZ Derivative Resources Analysis — takes the resources a system already has and transforms them into derivative resources (R0 → R1 → R2 → R3), then into useful functions and concrete solution concepts, using the classical ARIZ derived-resource operators plus an extended operator set. Use this skill when the user mentions 'derivative resources', 'derived resources', 'abgeleitete Ressourcen', 'resource chains', 'Ressourcenketten', or wants to turn by-products, waste, idle capacity, harmful effects or existing data into something useful. A plain inventory of what a system has — the six resource types, MATChEMIB — belongs to the resource-analysis skill; this one takes over as soon as the question is what those resources could be turned into.
