Abstract: Systems and methods electronically produce a local estimate of less-than-critical resources based on a client-side version of digital rules and coarse values received from an online service provider. Although using the client-side version of digital rules and the coarse values may not include all the parameters and values needed to provide a fully accurate estimate of the resource, the ability to locally estimate resources without having to make network calls to the online service provider, such as when there are unfavorable conditions or latency of the network, imminent overloading of the online service provider or other operating conditions or demands on the online service provider preventing it from producing a timely more accurate estimate, provides a faster and more efficient way of obtaining a potentially useful estimate of resources.
