[0016] Fig. 3 shows a functional configuration of the server device 1. As shown in Fig. 3, the server device 1 includes storage units, namely, a business entity information storage unit 131 and an evaluation index information storage unit 132, and processing units, namely, a business entity information acquisition unit 111, a business entity evaluation unit 112, a presentation unit 113, and an analysis unit 114.

[0017] The business entity information storage unit 131 and the evaluation index information storage unit 132 will be described below.

[0018] The business entity information storage unit 131 stores information about business entities to be evaluated, as shown in Fig. 4. Examples of business entity information include, but are not limited to, company name, date of establishment, capital, business details, address, contact information, manager information, founder information, shareholder information, and growth information (e.g., changes in fundraising amount, changes in stock price, changes in sales, changes in profits, changes in number of employees, etc.). Note that the manager information includes, but is not limited to, property information, which is information such as the names of one or more managers for each business entity and their respective properties (including information on educational background, work history, qualifications held, business achievements, etc.).

[0019] In this embodiment, the business entity may be any unit that conducts business, and examples of such business entities include, but are not limited to, organizations, corporations, individuals, etc., such as joint stock companies, LLCs (limited liability companies), LLPs (limited liability companies), NPOs (non-profit organizations), general incorporated associations, public interest incorporated foundations, and sole proprietors. In addition, the manager in this embodiment is an individual who is responsible for the management of the business entity, and includes, but is not limited to, for example, directors (including auditors), executive officers, and department heads such as business division managers in joint stock companies, executive members in LLCs, members determined by investors in LLPs, and directors in general incorporated associations and public interest incorporated foundations.

[0020] The processing units of the business entity information acquisition unit 111, the business entity evaluation unit 112, the presentation unit 113, and the analysis unit 114 will be described below.

[0021] As an example, the business entity information acquisition unit 111 acquires information on the business entity. For example, the business entity information acquisition unit 111 acquires information on the business entity by crawling information on the Internet. For example, the business entity information acquisition unit 111 acquires information on the business entity from websites on the Internet such as news sites, release sites, homepages of each business entity, and various SNSs.

[0022] For example, the business entity evaluation unit 112 evaluates the business entity based on the business entity information. For example, the business entity evaluation unit 112 evaluates the business entity based on property information included in the business entity information.

[0023] As an example, the business entity evaluation unit 112 highly evaluates a business entity where at least one manager belonging to the business entity has a predetermined educational background. Specifically, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may highly evaluate a business entity to which a manager belongs if, for example, the manager has enrolled in, graduated from, or completed an educational institution including a predetermined university or graduate school, has enrolled in, graduated from, or completed a predetermined faculty, department, research department, major, etc. at the educational institution, has a predetermined degree, has achieved predetermined results, has received a predetermined award, etc.

[0024] As an example, the business entity evaluation unit 112 highly evaluates a business entity where at least one manager belonging to the business entity has a predetermined work history (achievement). Specifically, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may highly evaluate a business entity to which a manager belongs if, for example, the manager has a work record at a predetermined business entity, has a work record in a predetermined department of the business entity, has a work record for a predetermined period of time at the business entity or in the department, or has achieved a predetermined result at the business entity (for example, sales results exceeding a predetermined figure, commercialization through research and development, publication of a predetermined number of papers, filing of a predetermined number of patent applications, winning an in-house award, etc.).

[0025] As an example, the business entity evaluation unit 112 highly evaluates a business entity where at least one manager belonging to the business entity has a predetermined qualification. Specifically, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may highly evaluate a business entity to which a manager belongs if, for example, the manager has obtained a predetermined qualification or has been performing work requiring the predetermined qualification for a predetermined period of time.

[0026] As an example, if at least one manager has at least one of the above-mentioned educational background, work history, and qualifications, and the other managers each have at least one of the above-mentioned educational background, work history, and qualifications, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may highly evaluate the business entity to which the managers belong.

[0027] As an example, if at least one manager has two or more of the above-mentioned educational background, work history, and qualifications, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may highly evaluate the business entity to which the manager belongs.

[0028] As an example, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may evaluate a business entity based on a combination of property information of two or more managers belonging to the same business entity. As an example, if two or more managers each have the above-mentioned educational background, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may highly evaluate the business entity to which the managers belong. As an example, if two or more managers each have the above-mentioned work history, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may highly evaluate the business entity to which the managers belong. As an example, if two or more managers each have the above-mentioned qualification, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may highly evaluate the business entity to which the managers belong.

[0029] For example, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may change the content of the above-mentioned educational background, work history, and qualifications according to the business field targeted by the business entity and perform the evaluation. For example, if the business entity A is a legal tech startup, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may give a high evaluation if at least one manager is qualified as a lawyer. For example, if the business entity A is a legal tech startup, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may give a high evaluation if at least one manager is qualified as a lawyer and another manager (e.g., CTO) has completed a graduate school majoring in artificial intelligence at a university. For example, if the business entity A is a legal tech startup, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may give a high evaluation if at least one manager is qualified as a lawyer and another manager (e.g., CFO) has worked at a financial institution.

[0030] As one example, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may accept a selection operation of items that the user considers important (such as the above-mentioned educational background, work history, and qualifications) and evaluate the business entities according to the selected items.

[0031] As an example, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may evaluate the business entity based on the results of a statistical analysis by the analysis unit 114 described below, or may evaluate the business entity using a model for evaluating the business entity generated by the analysis unit 114.

[0032] As an example, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may also evaluate the degree in the above-mentioned evaluation process. As an example, the business entity evaluation unit 112 may rank according to the contents of the educational background, work history, and qualifications of the manager. The business entity evaluation unit 112 may set a standard that prepares a ranking for each content, or a standard that defines one or more contents of educational background, work history, and qualifications for each group such as Tier 1 and Tier 2, and evaluate the degree of the business entity according to the standard.

[0033] As an example, the presentation unit 113 presents the evaluation result of the business entity evaluation unit 112 to the user terminal 3. For example, the presentation unit 113 presents information on highly rated business entities to the user terminal 3. The presentation method may be, but is not limited to, email, a messaging app (Slack (registered trademark), LINE (registered trademark)), or the like.

[0034] The analysis unit 114 predicts the growth of the business entity.

[0035] The analysis unit 114 may statistically estimate the growth of the business entity. The analysis method used by the analysis unit 114 may include classification, regression, correlation analysis, feature importance calculation, clustering, etc., and the statistical models for these may be implemented in a manner generally used in statistics, and detailed explanations thereof will be omitted here.

[0036] The analysis unit 114 analyzes whether there is a correlation between the property information and the growth of the business entity. The analysis unit 114 statistically analyzes, for example, the property information and the growth information of the business entity (such as a change in the amount of fundraising, or a change in stock price, or a change in sales, or a change in profit, or a change in the number of employees), and estimates the growth of the business entity from the property information. The analysis unit 114 also statistically analyzes, for example, the property information and the growth information of the business entity (such as a change in the amount of fundraising, or a change in stock price, or a change in sales, or a change in profit, or a change in the number of employees), and estimates the growth of the business entity from the property information.

[0037] For example, the analysis unit 114 may learn business entity information as training data, generate a prediction model predicting the growth of the business entity, and predict the growth of the business entity using the prediction model. For example, the analysis unit 114 learns manager information and growth information (such as the transition of the amount of procurement, or the transition of the stock price, or the transition of sales, or the transition of profits, or the transition of the number of employees) included in the business entity information as training data, and generates a prediction model in which the manager information is input information and the growth information is output information. For example, the analysis unit 114 learns business details, manager information, and growth information included in the business entity information as training data, and generates a prediction model in which the business details and manager information are input information and the growth information is output information.

[0038] FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the processing of the evaluation device of this embodiment.

[0039] The server device 1 acquires business entity information (1001). The server device 1 generates a forecasting model for forecasting the business entity's growth based on the business entity information (1002). The server device 1 evaluates the business entity (1003). The server device 1 presents the evaluation (1004).

[0040] Other examples are described below.

[0041] The server device 1 may acquire action information, which is information on web actions related to the business entity. The actions include, for example, external actions performed by people outside the business entity and internal actions performed by people inside the business entity. The external actions include access to a website related to the business entity, searching the website, following an SNS account operated by the business entity, etc., and the internal actions may include postings by the business entity on the website, creation of employee SNS accounts by employees belonging to the business entity, etc. The action information is configured to include information on the quantity of the actions performed in a specified period.

[0042] The server device 1 presents at least one of the entity information of the entity whose action information satisfies a predetermined condition and the result of the evaluation by the entity evaluation unit 112 to the user terminal 3. As an example, the predetermined condition may be that the number of actions (hereinafter, referred to as the action number) performed in a predetermined period, which is included in the action information, exceeds a predetermined number, or that the newly acquired action number is increased by a predetermined degree compared to the action number in a past predetermined period.

[0043] For example, the server device 1 may change the predetermined condition based on information on the business content of a business entity or the number of actions of business entities similar to the business entity.

[0044] As an example, when the action quantity of a certain business entity's predetermined internal action satisfies a predetermined condition and the action quantity of a certain external action satisfies a predetermined condition, the server device 1 may not present the business entity information of the business entity or information on the result of the evaluation by the business entity evaluation unit 112 to the user terminal 3. In this case, specifically, when a certain business entity issues a press release, even if the access to the website exceeds a predetermined quantity, the server device 1 may not present the business entity information of the business entity or information on the result of the evaluation by the business entity evaluation unit 112 to the user terminal 3.

[0045] For example, the server device 1 evaluates the business entity based on the business entity information. For example, the server device 1 highly evaluates the business entity whose number of employees has increased by more than a predetermined number within a predetermined period. For example, the server device 1 highly evaluates the business entity whose number of applications for intellectual property such as patents, trademarks, designs, etc. and the number of rights granted are more than a predetermined number. Note that the server device 1 may evaluate the quality of the business entity based on the number of employees that has increased, and based on numerical values ​​such as the number of applications for intellectual property and the number of rights granted.

[0046] The presentation unit 117 may present the business entity information presented by the above-mentioned process to the user terminal 3 in the order of the highest evaluation level, or may present business entity information ranked higher, such as from the top three, to the user terminal 3. Furthermore, the presentation unit 117 may accept an operation of the user terminal 3, obtain information such as the order or rank of the business entity information to be presented, and present the business entity information to be presented by the above-mentioned process based on that information. For example, when the presentation unit 117 accepts a selection to present business entity information classified as Tier 1 in the user terminal 3, it is sufficient to present only business entity information classified as Tier 1 to the user terminal 3.
