Computer-Implemented Systems And Methods For Automatic Triangulation Of Forward Conversion Curves

A computer-implemented system for determining a future conversion curve between a first metric and a second metric, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more computer-readable storage mediums containing software instructions executable on the one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
• receiving, using one or more processors, a first metric and a second metric;
• retrieving a plurality of conversion curves, the conversion curves having a corresponding weight, and each conversion curve identifying a plurality of future conversions between a source metric and a target metric;
• calculating one or more paths between the first metric and the second metric using two or more conversion curves, wherein each path begins with the first metric and ends with the second metric, and wherein each path is associated with a path weight based upon the sum of the weights used to calculate that path;
• determining a shortest path between the first metric and the second metric, wherein the shortest path is the path having the least weight;
• and
• generating a future conversion curve by collapsing the two or more conversion curves of the shortest path.

A computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that when executed on one or more processors within a computer system command the one or more processors to perform a method of determining a future conversion curve between a first metric and a second metric, the method comprising:

• receiving, using one or more processors, a first metric and a second metric;
• receiving a plurality of conversion curves, the conversion curves having a corresponding weight, and each conversion curve identifying a plurality of future conversions between a source metric and a target metric;
