System and method for generating a graphical user interface to track, analyze and interpret a big data dataset

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• obtaining, from at least one big data source, a big data dataset that includes transaction data;
• categorizing the transaction data into a number of data buckets;
• analyzing the transaction data from at least one of the data buckets to generate at least one graphical user interface to display at least some of the transaction data from the at least one of the data buckets, the at least one graphical user interface including at least one selectable interface element to adjust a display of the graphical user interface, the at least one selectable interface element including a selectable interface element to enable temporal control to automatically adjust the display of the graphical user interface to display at least some of the transaction data from the at least one of the data buckets in increments from a first time period to a second time period where one or more previous increments are displayed such that a tail is displayed that tracks the one or more previous increments to a current increment;
• and
• sending, via a communications module and to a computing device, the at least one graphical user interface for display.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions which, when executed, configure a processor to:

• obtain, from at least one big data source, a big data dataset that includes transaction data;
• categorize the transaction data into a number of data buckets;
• analyze the transaction data from at least one of the data buckets to generate at least one graphical user interface to display at least some of the transaction data from the at least one of the data buckets, the at least one graphical user interface including at least one selectable interface element to adjust a display of the graphical user interface, the at least one selectable interface element including a selectable interface element to enable temporal control to automatically adjust the display of the graphical user interface to display at least some of the transaction data from the at least one of the data buckets in increments from a first time period to a second time period where one or more previous increments are displayed such that a tail is displayed that tracks the one or more previous increments to a current increment;
• and
• send, via a communications module and to a computing device, the at least one graphical user interface for display.
