By using proportional maintenance (e.g., recommending/allocating resources based on current usage in the computing system), the systems and methods may scale current resources (e.g., hardware and/or software components) based on how those resources are currently utilized. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for determining allocatable resources during proportional maintenance of complex computing systems using bifurcated filtering, the system comprising: one or more processors;
