A method of dynamically creating a database is comprised of receiving event data from a plurality of independent agents input according to a common taxonomy that exposes the event in its molecular terms, e.g., causal factors driving the event and mitigating factors related to the event, and storing the event data. The molecular terms may be weighted. Additionally, the agents inputting the event data may be authenticated to insure that data is being entered by only those parties authorized to do so. The event data may also be validated by reference to external sources of information. The event data may additionally be normalized, anonymized and scaled. Synthetic event data may be added to the database for those situations where actual data is not available or is not very comprehensive. The synthetic event data may be generated by one of a test bed or a subject matter expert. After the database is created, a search engine or analytic engine may operate on the data to provide various reports such as root cause, failure, what-if, among others. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used in construing the claims.
