{client} problem analysis, or domain analysis Explanation: In software, we talk of 'requirements analysis' where we take the high-level requirements and break them down into lower level requirements that apply to the software. As you are trying for a single term, how about one of these? While domain is more widespread, i.e., the whole domain of electronics, you might be able to fit it in somewhere. Just a suggestion.

musings Explanation: A real can of worms if you ask me. As for you three examples, for the first I really don't know what they mean -- maybe some sort of technical analysis and/or system engineering (IMO you need a German native with experience to answer that question), while the third one clearly makes analytical instruments and instruments for use in analytical laboratories and analytical processes. Just out of curiosity I googled 'analytics', which I naively thought was an academic discipline, and here's a sample of what turned up: Define CRM analytics - a definition from Whatis.com - see also ...

1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1analysis or research Explanation: All three of the links you gave are high tech firms involved in both of research (usually called Forschung, but Denglish is everywhere) and analysis (of research). Particularly ACI, analytical control instruments. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 hrs (2006-06-09 12:17:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Most US engineering firms have someone (it may not be an entire branch) who does analysis on whatever the firm engineers. We've got an aerospace, environmental water, a structural-bridge and a chip engineer in the family, and they all do "analysis". None of it is the same, but all use the same term. I added research since it didn't occur in your posted lists. |
