SYSTEM AND ARCHITECTURE FOR COMPARING AND SELECTING A DRILL BIT DESIGN

Systems and methods discussed herein relate to applying models to downhole tool records to identify, sort, and display a subset of available downhole tool records with index information as defined by the models that have a desired relationship with a received input. The received input may be indicative of a particular device, device family, or set of features for a downhole tool. The methods may include identifying, from a set of design information stored in computer-storage media, one or more downhole tool records that correspond to the received input, applying one or more index models to the identified one or more downhole tool records, applying one or more local models to the identified one or more downhole tool records, and displaying at least some of the one or more downhole tool records, with index information as defined by the one or more index and local models.
