  • Systems and methods for processing information
    Patent number: 12711152
    Abstract: Systems and methods can be provided for processing information. Multiple categories of ties for multiple types of assets can be identified, where a tie can comprise a relationship between assets. A relative importance for each tie category can be determined. A category weight for each tie category can be assigned using a determined relative importance for each tie category. A tie value can be combined with a tie category weight to create a weighted tie value for each tie. All tie weighted values can be combined into a meta tie value.
