  • Dynamic service quality adjustments based on causal estimates of service quality sensitivity
    Patent number: 12536571
    Abstract: An online system, such as a concierge service, provides services to users using a set of limited resources. To allocate the limited resources of the system among the users, the system uses a model to predict each user's sensitivity to different levels of service. An allocation module then allocates the limited resources among a set of users based in part on the estimated sensitivities and the supply of available resources.
