  • Patent number: 10552771
    Abstract: A device may receive first data that identifies operations of an organization. The operations may be associated with a first manner in which the organization stores second data or a second manner in which the organization generates a contract. The device may process the first data to identify the operations of the organization. The device may perform a first analysis of the first data to determine whether the operations of the organization satisfy a set of rules. The set of rules may indicate the first manner in which the organization is to store the second data. The device may perform a second analysis of the second data to identify an error associated with the second data. The device may perform an action to modify the operations of the organization or to facilitate fixing of the error based on a result of the first analysis or the second analysis.
