1. A system for assessing a target subject matter comprising:
at least one processor; and
memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations to:
receive input identifying a set of keyword source claims associated with a first patent portfolio;
automatically extract at least one keyword from the set of keyword source claims;
receive a search query associated with a first patent portfolio, the search query including the at least one keyword;
arrange the at least one keyword by an order of importance;
search the first patent portfolio as a function of the search query;
generate search results, the search results including one or more patent claims associated with the search query;
map the one or more patent claims to a patent concept in a defined group to generate a mapping result; and
provide the mapping result in a panoramic claim chart, the panoramic claim chart including color-coded indices representing instances of identification of patent concepts in the one or more patent claims, the panoramic claim chart sorted by keyword occurrence intensity with arranged keywords on a first axis and the one or more patent claims on a second axis, wherein a color-coded index is displayed at an intersection of the arranged keywords and a patent claim of the one or more patent claims based on the mapping result.
