Patent ID: 8650108

Claim:
A method of calculating a segment score comprising: for a first enterprise having at least two divisions, each of the at least two divisions having different division goals, receiving a plurality of funding requests, wherein at least a first funding request originates from a first requestor at the first division and a second funding request originates from a second requestor at either the first or the second division, wherein the receiving of the first fund request comprises: (a) identifying a plurality of segments within the first division, the plurality of segments including at least a finance segment, a strategy segment and a risk segment, for at least one of: the finance segment, the strategy segment, or the risk segment, displaying a plurality of elements for review, wherein each segment relates to one or more goals of the enterprise, and each element is specific to that respective segment's one or more goals of the enterprise; (b) displaying a plurality of thresholds for each element of each segment displayed, wherein the thresholds are calculated from historical data of the enterprise; (c) receiving a user input from a user that is indicative of the quantity of thresholds exceeded for the displayed elements; and (d) calculating with a processor a value indicative of a segment score for at least one of the finance segment, the strategy segment, or the risk segment that is determined by the method comprising: (i) prioritizing, by the processor in a computing device without requiring additional user input, each element of each segment against each other element of the same segment according to a prioritization value; (ii) assigning, by the processor in the computing device without requiring additional user input, a quantifiable value to each of the thresholds for the elements; (iii) for each displayed element, determining, by the processor in the computing device without requiring additional user input, the quantity of thresholds exceeded by the value received by the user input; (iv) using the processor to calculate an element score for each displayed element by utilizing the received value and the prioritization value of the element; and (v) calculating by the processor the segment score from the individual elements within the segment.
