A method for real-time cost calculation and smart resource allocation for a digital transmission, the digital transmission comprising a payload and associated with metadata, the metadata comprising a sender of the digital transmission, a size of the digital transmission, and a location of a source of the digital transmission, the method comprising:
- deriving and storing a target resource allocation for each sender from a plurality of senders, wherein deriving the target resource allocation for a sender is based on a historical record of metadata of transmissions from the sender;
- receiving the digital transmission;
- generating a cost estimate based on the metadata of the digital transmission;
- embedding the cost estimate in the metadata of the digital transmission;
- mining, using an artificial intelligence (“AI”) machine-learning neural network, a predetermined set of Internet news sources to obtain information that relates to each sender of the transmission;
- computing a relevancy score based on the information, wherein the relevancy score relates to an increased or decreased level of digital transmissions from the sender;
- allocating digital resources for the digital transmission based on the metadata of the digital transmission and the relevancy score;
- triggering an alert when the digital resources allocated for the digital transmission are more than a threshold difference apart from the target resource allocation for the sender of the digital transmission;
- and
- updating the historical record of the sender of the digital transmission based on the metadata of the digital transmission;
- wherein the allocating digital resources for the digital transmission reserves the digital resources for the digital transmission and prevents overloading of the digital resources.
