Abstract
In the research project described in this paper an automated business diagnosis system (called Phalanx) is developed, specifically for use by consultants advising small businesses. An automated business diagnosis system can be defined as a computer program that delivers an opinion of the viability of a company. As a working hypothesis, it is assumed that the use of such a system improves the performance of the consultant; better judgements are made with such a system than without one.
