A computer system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computer system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a first client computing device in communication with the computer system, a first electronic communication that includes a request to determine a conclusion, the request including data for determining the conclusion;
- retrieving, from the memory, one or more rules associated with the conclusion;
- determining the conclusion based on the data and the one or more rules;
- identifying, based on the data and the one or more rules, a plurality of factors having influence on the determination of the conclusion;
- selecting one or more factors of the plurality of factors to indicate in a second electronic communication;
- retrieving, from the memory, a respective explanation for each of the respective one or more selected factors, the respective explanation associated with each respective factor's influence on the conclusion;
- and
- transmitting the second electronic communication to a second client computing device that includes at least one of:
- an indication of the conclusion, and at least one of an indication of the selected one or more selected factors, and an indication of the one or more explanations associated with the one or more selected factors, in which the second electronic communication is configured to cause the second client computing device to present, on a display screen of the second client computing device, a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes at least one of:
- the indication of the conclusion, the indication of the one or more selected factors, and the indication of the one or more explanations, and in which the GUI includes, displayed on the display screen, the indication of the conclusion and a selectable link that, when selected by a user of the second client computing device, displays at least one of the indication of the one or more explanations and the indication of the one or more factors in conjunction with the indication of the conclusion on the display screen.
