In its simplest form TRIZ may be seen to represent some easy questions. These are represented in this book in various ways.

As TRIZ contains generalisations of many principles, the first step is to create a standardised abstract model of your problem that fits into one of the TRIZ models for which it can offer a generalised solution which you can then interpret for an answer to your particular problem, as Fig. 5.1.

This is not too difficult as it is similar to how people normally approach many situations: first understanding the problem in terms of their own internal interpretations, then musing on approaches that they know about, then trying them out in practice.
