+/**
+ * Pareto Frontier Analyzer
+ *
+ * Implements the Big Bang 80/20 methodology for feature prioritization.
+ * Based on theoretical framework from thesis-bigbang-80-20.tex
+ *
+ * Key Properties:
+ * - Identifies Pareto-optimal features (non-dominated in value-cost space)
+ * - Validates 80/20 rule: 20% of features deliver 80% of value
+ * - Computes specification entropy H_spec to determine applicability
+ * - Provides multi-objective optimization for strategic decisions
+ *
+ * Mathematical Guarantees:
+ * - H_spec(P) ≥ 0.75 × H_spec(F) (Pareto entropy concentration)
+ * - |P| ≈ 0.2 × |F| (size of Pareto frontier)
