Run don't walk - Simplicity and Speed

One of the unique features of our taxonomy is that we like to show how near items are in the taxonomy to other items classified using our taxonomy. Since we are classifying companies, it allows for us to define a "sphere of competition". Our first version of software which determined "nearness" used a walking algorithm which would walk up and down the trees to determine distances. Searches for "nearby companies" took a long time, up to a minute. Recently we changed the algorithm to use some algebra to do the walking and now searches take less than a second!. The algebraic algorithm was simpler and faster. Check it out on mandasoft.com. Use the see comparable deals link.
