Financial Valuation Platform Merging Proprietary Models
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for assessing and valuing financial instruments in the marketplace often result in inconsistent ratings due to proprietary algorithms used by different rating agencies, leading to uncertainty for stakeholders making investment decisions.
Innovation Solution
A machine-based method that records, publishes, and updates models for valuing financial instruments, allowing for community collaboration and peer review through a wiki-based platform, enabling consistent and transparent risk assessment and valuation across the financial market.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If proprietary algorithms are used by different rating agencies to assess risks, then each agency can maintain its own valuation methodology, but the ratings become inconsistent and unreliable for stakeholders
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple proprietary valuation models from different rating agencies into a single collaborative platform. The system combines diverse valuation methodologies while establishing consistent output standards, allowing stakeholders to access integrated risk assessments that maintain the adaptability of individual approaches while achieving reliability through consolidation and standardization.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple rating agencies provide independent assessments, then stakeholders have multiple perspectives, but the inconsistency creates uncertainty for investment decisions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary platform that acts as a mediator between multiple rating agencies and stakeholders. This intermediary system receives diverse assessments from various agencies, standardizes their output formats, and presents unified valuation results to stakeholders. The intermediary maintains multiple perspectives while eliminating decision uncertainty through consistent presentation and integrated analysis.
3Adaptability or versatility
If proprietary algorithms are used to maintain competitive advantage, then agencies protect their intellectual property, but transparency and peer review are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the valuation model into distinct layers: proprietary algorithmic components that remain protected, and standardized output interfaces that enable transparency. Each agency's proprietary logic is maintained as a separate module, while the platform provides unified access to results and enables peer review of methodologies without exposing trade-secret algorithms. This segmentation allows model customization to be preserved while transparency is provided at the interface level.

AI summary
A machine-based method includes recording, by one or more computers, a first model for use in valuing a financial instrument in a financial market, publishing by the one or more computers the first model to systems of a group of users, receiving by the one or more computers review information pertaining to the first model resulting from publishing the first model and recording, at the one or more computers, a second model derived from the first model based on received review information and the associated data.
