Device, Method and User Interface for Determining a Correlation between a Received Sequence of Numbers and Data that Corresponds to Metrics

A computing device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory;
• one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• receiving, from a first party, an input including:
• a sequence of numbers corresponding to a plurality of key performance indicator values associated with an entity;
• and
• time range information for the sequence of numbers;
• and
• in response to receiving the input:
• obtaining, from a data set associated with the entity, data that corresponds to a plurality of metrics in accordance with the time range information, wherein the data set is accessible to a second party that does not have direct knowledge of the key performance indicators;
• determining correlations between the plurality of metrics and the sequence of numbers, wherein a correlation between a respective metric and the sequence of numbers is determined based on a comparison between data corresponding to the respective metric and the sequence of numbers;
• and
• providing, to the first party, a result indicative of a respective correlation between one or more of the metrics and the sequence of numbers.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by a computing device with one or more processors cause the device to:

• receive, from a first party, an input including:
• a sequence of numbers corresponding to a plurality of key performance indicator values associated with an entity;
• and
• time range information for the sequence of numbers;
• and
• in response to receiving the input:
• obtain, from a data set associated with the entity, data that corresponds to a plurality of metrics in accordance with the time range information, wherein the data set is accessible to a second party that does not have direct knowledge of the key performance indicators;
• determine correlations between the plurality of metrics and the sequence of numbers, wherein a correlation between a respective metric and the sequence of numbers is determined based on a comparison between data corresponding to the respective metric and the sequence of numbers;
• and
• provide, to the first party, a result indicative of a respective correlation between one or more of the metrics and the sequence of numbers.
