Claim:
1. A method comprising: sampling toll-free number call activity from a toll-free telecommunications system to obtain data; repeating the call sampling during a tuning period until a statistically significant data store is created using the obtained data; receiving metadata about the toll-free numbers that are the subject of the call activity; receiving third party data; modeling the obtained data and the received metadata relating to toll-free number call activity to derive a toll-free call activity trend; modeling the third party data to derive a macroeconomic trend; comparing the toll-free call activity trend with the macroeconomic trend; creating a trend score based at least in part on the comparison, wherein the trend score expresses an association between the toll-free call activity trend and the macroeconomic trend; and presenting the trend score to a user interface on a client device.
