Claim:
SynGen generates only the shortest and most efficient syntheses. SynGen generates the syntheses without user intervention, freeing it from user bias and allowing it to explore all possibilities. All the generated syntheses have commercially-available starting materials.

The assessment of a synthesis depends on the aim of the synthesis.

The assessment of a chemical compound depends on its use, but there are also general considerations particular important large scale commodities
The ideal chemical compound (material, drug, dye, polymer etc.) is

Number of steps as indicator “The ideal synthesis creates a complex molecule .. in a sequence of only construction reactions involving no intermediary refunctionalizations, leading directly to the target, not only its skeleton but also its correctly placed functionality.” Hendrickson, J.
