1. A method for evaluating, by generating a fitness measure value, a set of variable data documents generated by an automatic document assembly process, a set of variable data documents being a set of documents having a portion corresponding to a predetermined content and a portion corresponding to a variable content, the predetermined content being the same in each document of the set of variable data documents, comprising:

  • (a) inputting, through an input device, document specifications for a set of variable data documents to be generated, the document specifications being represented as a set of relative weights;

    (b) generating, using a processor, an set of electronic variable data documents;

    (c) executing,for each electronic variable data document, a set of value-property functions to generate a set of value properties, said set of value-property functions evaluating properties representing a good design;

    (d) determining an inferred intent vector for each electronic variable data document as a function of the set of calculated set of value properties, the inferred intent vector is determined by a matrix multiplication applied to a vector of value properties; and

    (e) generating a fitness measure value by multiplying components of the inferred intent vector by a corresponding relative weight from the set of relative weights to generate a set of products and summing the set of products.
