A solution engine of a vendor's highly-automated adaptive computer support system for a remote customer automatically generates proposed solutions, e.g., sets of support documents, as a function of diagnostic data received from a customer's computer system. The automatically generated solution can be subject to expert review prior to publication to the customer, e.g., when the automated system assigns a low confidence level to the solution. In addition, expert review can be triggered by feedback from the customer once a proposed solution is communicated. The diagnostic data, solutions and feedback for an incident are packaged as a "case" and entered into a historical case database. A solution function updater updates the solution function as a function, at least in part, of the expert review and customer feedback.
