Abstract: A method and system for generating and maintaining an immutable electronic ledger. The method comprises receiving, accessing, and/or modifying one or more decision-influencing factors relating to a commodity and/or a product. The method comprises autonomously storing the one or more decision-influencing factors as a part of the immutable electronic ledger in response to said receiving, accessing, and/or modifying. The immutable electronic ledger serves as a record of decision-influencing factors, that is free of hindsight, for a business entity in an evaluation of a decision associated with the commodity and/or product and influenced by the one or more decision-influencing factors.

Abstract: A system and method for rapid evaluation of raw material price risk mitigation contracts aided by simulations driven by an end-user's selection of a settlement parameter, which enable transparent and quick evaluations of one or more contracts. The simulations are presented on a user interface that provides for a unique communication of information relevant to the one or more contracts. An end-user's selection of a settlement parameter is enabled by a digital slider, the actuation of which presents updated simulations in substantially real-time.
