1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media including computer instructions for performing a method comprising: using a central processing unit (CPU) connected via a network to a remote storage device, to process requirements documents stored in the remote memory device; identifying, using the CPU, one or more of a plurality of strings consisting of one or more words in a requirements document as corresponding to at least one of a plurality of lexico-syntactic structural patterns; querying a first database contained in a second memory device, to obtain a list of lexico-syntactic structural patterns associated with ambiguity and interpretive uncertainty arising in the cognitive functions invoked in a reader in reading the text; annotating, using the CPU, the plurality of strings consisting of one or more words as one of at least a pointer, a linker, and a situator as the structural elements of the lexico-syntactic structural patterns linked to ambiguity and interpretive uncertainty in the cognitive functions invoked in a reader in reading the text; querying a second database contained in a third memory device, to obtain a set of one or more risk patterns associated with the lexico-syntactic structural patterns, the second database comprising a plurality of risk patterns having at least one of the plurality of known strings consisting of one or more words susceptible to ambiguity and misinterpretation and the plurality of lexico-syntactic structural patterns, the plurality of risk patterns being separate from the plurality of lexico-syntactic structural patterns; creating, using the CPU, a network having a plurality of nodes corresponding to the sets of lexico-syntactic structural patterns and risk patterns and weighted links between the sets of lexico-syntactic structural patterns and risk patterns; utilizing, using the CPU, machine learning algorithms to build risk assessors to identify lexico-syntactic structural patterns as risk elements that invoke ambiguity and interpretive uncertainty within the cognitive functions invoked in a reader in reading a text incorporating the lexico-syntactic structural patterns; constructing, using the CPU, at least one explication that specifies alternative strings consisting of one or more words comprising salient terms from a risk elements; and displaying, using the CPU, the explications within a user interface to be selected by a user to address ambiguities and misinterpretations within at least one requirements document.
