Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for analyzing an entity network, the method comprising: receiving, at a computing system, a request to create a computer-generated representation of a model entity network that models a real entity network in the real world, wherein the real entity network comprises a representation of an organization having a plurality of entities, wherein the model entity network identifies an optimal hierarchy of relationships among the plurality of entities in the real entity network; receiving, at the computing system, at least two parameters that are to be used in the creation of the computer-generated representation of the model entity network, the at least two parameters including: creating, at the computing system and in response to receiving the request and the at least two parameters, the computer-generated representation of the model entity network by: comparing the computer-generated representation of the model entity network to a representation of the real entity network to determine one or more deficiencies that exist in the real entity network; and providing, by the computing system and based on a result of the comparing, an indication to modify the real entity network so as to correct the one or more deficiencies determined to exist in the real entity network.
