"Post solution activity" is the activity that is irrelevant to patentability.
There can be no "significant post solution activity" imho.
You probably wanted to say "with the claimed technical features being found
in the post-solution activity only".
The German courts would say something like: "the solution is already completed
as an algorithm, before, during its non-inventive application to a
known data processing system, the field of technology is set foot upon."
