Abstract
A method, computer program product, and server computer for monitoring at least one paid-for opinion issued by an analyst to determine a paid-for qualitative statistic for the analyst. The paid-for qualitative statistic is indicative of the quality of at least a portion of the at least one paid-for opinion issued by the analyst. At least one unpaid opinion issued by the analyst is monitored to determine an unpaid qualitative statistic for the analyst. The unpaid qualitative statistic is indicative of the quality of at least a portion of the at least one unpaid opinion issued by the analyst. The paid-for qualitative statistic is compared to the unpaid qualitative statistic.
Claims60
A method comprising:
- monitoring at least one paid-for opinion issued by an analyst to determine a paid-for qualitative statistic for the analyst, wherein the paid-for qualitative statistic is indicative of the quality of at least a portion of the at least one paid-for opinion issued by the analyst;
- monitoring at least one unpaid opinion issued by the analyst to determine an unpaid qualitative statistic for the analyst, wherein the unpaid qualitative statistic is indicative of the quality of at least a portion of the at least one unpaid opinion issued by the analyst;
- and
- comparing the paid-for qualitative statistic to the unpaid qualitative statistic.
A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause that processor to:
- monitor at least one paid-for opinion issued by an analyst to determine a paid-for qualitative statistic for the analyst, wherein the paid-for qualitative statistic is indicative of the quality of at least a portion of the at least one paid-for opinion issued by the analyst;
- monitor at least one unpaid opinions issued by the analyst to determine an unpaid qualitative statistic for the analyst, wherein the unpaid qualitative statistic is indicative of the quality of at least a portion of the at least one unpaid opinion issued by the analyst;
- and
- compare the paid-for qualitative statistic to the unpaid qualitative statistic.
A server computer configured for:
- monitoring at least one paid-for opinion issued by an analyst to determine a paid-for qualitative statistic for the analyst, wherein the paid-for qualitative statistic is indicative of the quality of at least a portion of the at least one paid-for opinion issued by the analyst;
- monitoring at least one unpaid opinion issued by the analyst to determine an unpaid qualitative statistic for the analyst, wherein the unpaid qualitative statistic is indicative of the quality of at least a portion of the at least one unpaid opinion issued by the analyst;
- and
- comparing the paid-for qualitative statistic to the unpaid qualitative statistic.
A method comprising:
- monitoring at least one paid-for opinion issued by each of a plurality of analysts to determine a paid-for qualitative statistic for each analyst, wherein each paid-for qualitative statistic is indicative of the quality of the at least one paid-for opinion issued by the analyst;
- monitoring at least one unpaid opinion issued by each of the plurality of analysts to determine an unpaid qualitative statistic for each analyst, wherein each unpaid qualitative statistic is indicative of the quality of the at least one unpaid opinion issued by the analyst;
- combining the paid-for qualitative statistic for each analyst to generate a group paid-for qualitative statistic;
- and
- comparing the group paid-for qualitative statistic to at least one of the unpaid qualitative statistics.

- combining the paid-for qualitative statistic for each analyst to generate a group paid-for qualitative statistic;
- and
- comparing the group paid-for qualitative statistic to at least one of the unpaid qualitative statistics.
