Patent ID: 8688488

Claim:
A method for preparation of an order turnaround time predictive report for a background information verification order in an information verification system, each such information verification order associated with an individual whose background information is to be verified through one or more elementary verification services, the information verification system comprising a processor, one or more statistics storage devices, one or more calculation modules, and one or more input/output modules, the method comprising the steps of: receiving from a user via the input/output module one or more elementary verification services to be processed, wherein each such elementary verification service comprises one or more items of the individual's background information to be verified; creating an information verification order within the information verification system, wherein the information verification order comprises one or more of the received elementary verification services to be processed, via said processor; identifying at least one turnaround time statistical distribution function associated with each such elementary verification service via the calculation module, wherein such turnaround time statistical distribution function is based on one or more statistics of each such elementary verification service within at least one of said statistics storage devices, and wherein each such statistic represents the actual processing time for the past performance of an elementary verification service; and preparing the predicted order turnaround time predictive report of the information verification order based upon the turnaround time statistical distribution function associated with each such elementary verification service via at least one of the calculation module and the processor.
