Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a single machine learning model that can perform multiple audit types through a unified architecture. The model processes different audit types (e.g., medical necessity, coding accuracy, fraud detection) using the same computational framework, eliminating the need for separate models for each audit type while maintaining the ability to handle diverse audit requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple audit type processing capabilities into a single integrated model. By merging the functionality of multiple separate models into one unified model, the system reduces computational overhead and resource consumption while preserving the ability to perform different audit types through a single computational engine

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements reinforcement learning where the model receives feedback in the form of reward signals based on prediction accuracy and resource utilization. This feedback mechanism allows the system to dynamically adjust its exploration-exploitation strategy, improving analysis efficiency by learning from past performance and optimizing future computational decisions
