  • Publication number: 20250148021
    Abstract: In embodiments, an Online Software Platform (OSP) is configured to receive datasets having dataset values that represent relationship instance data of relationship instances between a client primary entity and other secondary entities, select digital rules responsive to these dataset values, produce resources for the datasets by applying the selected digital rules to the dataset values, derive a total value of the produced resources, generate a report document that mentions at least derived the total value, and prepare an instantiation that enables viewing a data record that substantiates the derived total value. The OSP may further make this instantiation available for viewing to a domain entity that has access to the report document and wants to confirm the derived total value. For instance, the OSP may provide an access instruction for viewing the instantiation, or even augment the report document itself with such an access instruction.

  • Publication number: 20250103354
    Abstract: In embodiments, in processes that can be repeated numerous times, relationship instance data is inputted, of relationship instances between primary entities and secondary entities. For a relationship instance, an outbound dataset is constructed that has dataset parameters with respective dataset values. One of the dataset values characterizes an attribute of one of the entities, and another encodes a base value for the relationship instance data. The outbound dataset is transmitted across a network to an Online Software Platform (OSP) computer system. The OSP computer system produces, according to digital rules, two or more resources for the dataset, and an inbound dataset is returned with the results, for forwarding to an output device. Handling settings are also inputted by a UI. Depending on the handling settings, one of the resources is added, or not, to the base value for a user as part of forwarded results.

  • Publication number: 20250104097
    Abstract: An embodiment is a method performed by a computer system of an online software platform (OSP). The method includes receiving, via a network, a set of datasets of relationship instances that are associated with a primary entity, a domain from a plurality of domains, and a time period and maintaining a cumulative base value associated with the primary entity, the domain, and the time period. The method further includes responsive to determining that the cumulative base value exceeds a predefined threshold value, changing a reporting period length associated with the primary entity and the domain from a first reporting period length to a second reporting period length that is shorter than the first reporting period length and causing a report to be prepared and transmitted via the network to a computer system of the domain using the second reporting period length.

  • Publication number: 20250103423
    Abstract: A method performed by a computer system of an online software platform (OSP). The method includes receiving, via a network, a first set of datasets of relationship instances that are associated with a domain from a plurality of domains and a first time period, identifying patterns in the first set of datasets with respect to one or more monitored parameters, receiving, via the network, a second set of datasets of relationship instances that are associated with an entity, the domain, and a second time period that comes after the first time period, determining whether a discontinuity exists in the second set of datasets with respect to the one or more monitored parameters based on comparing values corresponding to the one or more monitored parameters in the second set of datasets against the patterns, and performing a reactive action responsive to determining that the discontinuity exists.

  • Patent number: 12242423
    Abstract: In embodiments, computer systems, computer-readable media, and methods perform operations such as deliver, on behalf of a primary entity, data reports to domains. However, before delivering, they check to see if such a data report has already taken delivered, perhaps inadvertently, in case the primary entity had given duplicative instructions for the delivery. The checking can start either directly with a domain online space of the domain itself, or by exploring a partner online space of a partner entity. In each case, the primary entity provides credentials for access to an online space, and of course permission. Access to the online space is accomplished via the credentials, an inquiry is transmitted to the online space, and inquiry results are received in response to the transmitted inquiry. The inquiry results are analyzed and, if it is determined that such a delivery has taken place, the primary entity is notified.

  • Patent number: 12166693
    Abstract: An online software platform (OSP) classifies challenges to digital rules into buckets according to respective challenged digital rules that were applied to produce respective challenged resources. The OSP computes respective statistics for the buckets. Each bucket may have a corresponding statistic associated with the bucket based on a current total number of challenges that have been classified into that bucket. The OSP ranks the buckets according to the respective statistics of the buckets. The OSP may correct, based on the ranking of the buckets, the respective challenged stored digital rule of the selected bucket without yet correcting the respective challenged digital rule of at least one of the other buckets. This correction is stored and included in digital rules to be used to produce resources going forward.

  • Patent number: 11847706
    Abstract: In embodiments, diagnostics are electronically determined and provided as to why historical resource values differ from resource values determined according to more-trusted ways. Historical relationship instance data regarding a plurality of historical relationship instances between a primary entity and a plurality of secondary entities are received along with a plurality of historical resource values, in which each historical relationship instance of the plurality of historical relationship instances is associated with a respective historical resource value of the plurality of historical resource values. The system produces a respective trusted resource values based on the respective historical relationship instance. Based on differences between the respective trusted resource value and the respective historical resource value associated with the dataset, the system outputs one or more diagnostic comments associated with the detected difference.
