System and method for transaction volume determination

An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer based system, cause the computer based system to perform operations comprising:

• ingesting, by the computer based system, data element source data;
• generating, by the computer based system, an industry categorization array comprising industry categories;
• generating, by the computer based system, a variable array comprising variables,
• wherein the variables include at least one of employees, payment experiences, industry index, sales amount factor, maximum available credit, average available credit, satisfactory payment experiences, square footage, total assets at zip code level, UCC filings, payment references, high sales presence indicators, legal status, presence in a higher sales database, registrations for marine vessels, registrations for a health care data bank, registrations for import-export approvals, hotel occupancies, or green card filings;
• determining, by the computer based system, a relative value of the variable array of a business based on an importance factor;
• comparing, by the computer based system, the relative value of the variable array of the business within the industry categorization array;
• testing, by the computer based system, the relative value of the variable array to other outcomes and a related value from another source over time and after an iteration timing delay;
• changing, by the computer based system, the relative value of the variable array over time, in response to the testing;
• determining, by the computer based system, at least one of an industry-linked variable ranking or an industry-linked variable threshold;
• correlating, by the computer based system, the relative value of the variable array and the industry categorization array;
• and
• ranking, by the computer based system, the business within an industry category according to sales value, and in response to the correlating.

A computer-based system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor,
• the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• ingesting, by the computer based system, data element source data;
• generating, by the computer based system, an industry categorization array comprising industry categories;
• generating, by the computer based system, a variable array comprising variables,
• wherein the variables include at least one of employees, payment experiences, industry index, sales amount factor, maximum available credit, average available credit, satisfactory payment experiences, square footage, total assets at zip code level, UCC filings, payment references, high sales presence indicators, legal status, presence in a higher sales database, registrations for marine vessels, registrations for a health care data bank, registrations for import-export approvals, hotel occupancies, or green card filings;
• determining, by the computer based system, a relative value of the variable array of a business based on an importance factor;
• comparing, by the computer based system, the relative value of the variable array of the business within the industry categorization array;
• testing, by the computer based system, the relative value of the variable array to other outcomes and a related value from another source over time and after an iteration timing delay;
• changing, by the computer based system, the relative value of the variable array over time, in response to the testing;
• determining, by the computer based system, at least one of an industry-linked variable ranking or an industry-linked variable threshold;
• correlating, by the computer based system, the relative value of the variable array and the industry categorization array;
• and
• ranking, by the computer based system, the business within an industry category according to sales value, and in response to the correlating.
