Abstract: The present disclosure details systems, computer program products, and methods for machine engine analysis of network interaction data to identify conflicts. This involves the activation of an intelligence engine that connects to a backend data engine to access a database of conflict of interest (COI) datasets. The intelligence engine analyzes incoming applicant data and the COI datasets to identify potential conflicts. The identified conflicts are validated using stochastic metrics via a rules engine. A quantifiable probability metric is calculated, representing the probability of conflict from both organizational and individual perspectives. Based on the potential conflict of interest, a recommendation is generated that aligns with the calculated probability. The system then provides recommendations via API or on a user interface that is communicatively coupled to the processor.
