Today, research funding is under pressure because of rising costs for labor, raw materials, and equipment, as well as changes in public policy. Since research costs are not a direct part of the cost of current production any reduction in research costs will increase current earnings or will make funds available for more pressing uses within the firm. In addition, there is a drive to increase the productivity of expenditures on research, as with all other expenses. Therefore, industrial research is carefully planned and continuosly managed.

This paper includes an operational definition of relevance numbers as used in evaluation matrices and relevance trees. This definition enables a better understanding of the concept, a derivation of the formalism, and an analysis of the error propagation in relevance trees. For technical systems a special measure of utility based on distance in parameter space is introduced, which can be used to obtain relevance numbers from a computerized model of that process.
