Publication number: 20230176713Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems of displaying graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that illustrate various offering analytics and insights. The GUI display selectable graphical components representing attributes of maturity bonds, wherein when a user interacts with a first graphical component corresponding to a first maturity bond, the server dynamically updates a second section of the GUI. The second section of the GUI displays time periods corresponding to a maturity date for the first maturity bond, wherein the server displays a vertical bar for each time period, a height of the vertical bar indicating a value of the maturity bond, wherein each vertical bar is divided into two areas a first area corresponding to a competitive sale of the first maturity bond, and a second area corresponding to a negotiated sale of the first maturity bond.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2023Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Anthony LEYDEN, William MACPHERSON
