  • Publication number: 20230127675
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating a financial health score for a consumer or entity. In some aspects, financial data relating to an entity may be obtained. In some cases, the financial data may be classified into one of a plurality of data categories. One or more number of the following factors may then be determined using the financial data: a debt-to income factor, a total spending factor, one of a debt portfolio factor or a debt factor, a saving factor, a liquid reserves factor, and a payment history factor. A ratio or value may be determined for one or more of the factors, and a corresponding subsequent factor score generated based on the ratio or value. The one or more factor scores may then be combined to generate a financial health score.

  • Publication number: 20230128256
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing a financial health score simulator for a consumer or entity. In some aspects, a request to simulate an impact on a financial health score of an entity caused by a change in at least one of a subset of financial data values used to determine the financial health score may be obtained. A past financial health score may be obtained including values for at least three of a debt-to income factor, a total spending factor, a debt/debt portfolio factor, a saving factor, a liquid reserves factor, or a payment history factor. A simulated financial health score may be calculated using the at least one changed value for at least one of the subset of financial data values. An indication the simulated financial health score may then be provided to the requesting device.

  • Publication number: 20230125183
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing a classifying financial data to generate a financial health score for a consumer or entity. In some aspects, financial data relating to an entity over a time period may be obtained, where the financial data includes at least one debt item associated with a debt item interest rate. At least one interest rate threshold may be determined based on a benchmark interest rate value obtained from a public source. The debt item interest rate may be compared to the at least one interest rate threshold to produce an interest rate comparison. Using the interest rate comparison, a debt item classification may be generated or determined, where the debt item classification includes one of beneficial debt or adverse debt. A financial evaluation may be generated for the entity using the financial data and the debt item classification.

  • Patent number: 11631014
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure include at least one processor that receives a data set of a data stream from a data source, where the data set includes a time-varying data points. The processor determines event observations associated with data points of the time-varying data points based on a detection model to identify types of the event observations, including: i) anomalies, ii) change-points, iii) patterns, or iv) outliers. The processor generates anomaly records in an event data store based on the event observations and automatically generates event records for at least one of the anomaly records based on variables of at least one dimension of the time-varying data points, where the event record links one or more event observations. The processor automatically applies changes in the event record to each event observation of the one or more event observations based on the linking by the event record.
