  • Patent number: 11107027
    Abstract: A method for utilizing an externally augmented propensity model for determining a future financial requirement. The method includes obtaining at least one propensity model that models how data associated with a business entity relates to a future financial requirement of the business entity, and gathering the data associated with the business entity. The data includes a first portion created based on a platform utilized by users associated with the business entity, and financial data of an owner of the business entity. The data matches at least a subset of the at least one propensity model. The business entity is scored by applying the at least one propensity model to the data. Further, based on the score, the future financial requirement of the business entity is classified. Still yet, a message is transmitted to the business entity based on the classification of the future financial requirement of the business entity.

  • Patent number: 10671952
    Abstract: A method for transmitting a message based on the occurrence of a workflow event and the output of an externally augmented propensity model. The method includes scoring a business entity by applying a propensity model to data. The data includes a first portion created based on a platform utilized by users associated with the business entity, and a second portion that includes financial data of an owner of the business entity. The method includes generating, based on the score, a classification of a future financial requirement of the business entity, and determining that the classification meets a financial requirement threshold. Moreover, the method includes determining, using the first portion of data, that an aspect of the business entity meets a business activity threshold. Also, the method includes detecting that a workflow event has occurred on the platform, and, in response, transmitting a message to a user of the business entity.

  • Publication number: 20170344925
    Abstract: A method for transmitting messages based on the occurrence of workflow events and the output of propensity models identifying a future financial requirement. The method includes generating, based on a propensity model score of a business entity, a classification of a future financial requirement of the business entity. Also, the method includes determining that the classification of the future financial requirement of the business entity meets a financial requirement threshold. Further, the method includes determining, using data of the business entity, that an aspect of the business entity meets a business activity threshold. Moreover, the method includes detecting that a workflow event has occurred on a platform utilized by the business entity. Still yet, the method includes, in response to the determination that the workflow event has occurred, transmitting a message to a user of the business entity.
