  • Patent number: 11907874
    Abstract: The invention is directed towards an apparatus and method for generating an action validation protocol. A processor is configured to receiver user data relating to an action datum. The processor is configured to select an action datum validator. The action datum is transmitted to the action datum validator where an action datum label is selected. Once an action datum validator selects an action label, the action is further categorized. If the action datum has not been completed, it will be sent back to the action datum identifier.

  • Patent number: 11593832
    Abstract: Prospective deals for a deal vendor's deal inventory may be scored according to one or more population-specific expected-yield scores, such as expected revenue yield, expected new customers yield, and the like. A prospective deal is categorized and characterized according to a number of yield-related characteristics. Some or all of the prospective deal's characteristics are mapped to yield components derived from completed deals that have been offered to a particular population. An expected-yield score for a prospective deal with regard to that population is obtained by combining the mapped yield components.

  • Patent number: 11301795
    Abstract: Techniques are described for performing intelligence on supply chains used by organizations. A system performs a risk assessment of a labor supply chain of a particular organization by accessing, from a database, a first set of coded confidential labor supply chain data for the particular organization and a second set of coded confidential labor supply chain data for other organizations that are different from the particular organization. The system analyzes a combination of the first set of data and the second set of data to assess whether risks exist within the labor supply chain of the particular organization. Based on the analysis, the system generates a risk report for the labor supply chain data of the particular organization by desensitizing at least a portion of the second set of data for inclusion in the risk report and integrating the desensitized portion of the second set of data with confidential labor supply chain data of the particular organization.
