  • Patent number: 11741492
    Abstract: A workflow management system enables an entity to store information components in one or more publicly accessible databases, the information components associated with an acquisition by the acquisition entity. A unique entity identifier is associated with the information components in the databases, such that when reviewing entities access the information component via the databases and perform a similar event, a similar event object with the unique entity identifier is transmitted to the workflow management system. The information components may also be distributed by secondary entities, which may be automatically selected by the workflow management system based on historical data associated with respective secondary entities. When event objects initiated by information components stored by a secondary entity are received at the workflow management system, some or all of a maximum value increment associated with the acquisition is partitioned between the secondary entity and the acquisition entity.
