Automated business system generation

A network device for determining over a network a total cost for providing at least one offering, comprising:

• a transceiver for communicating over the network;
• a memory for storing at least instructions;
• a processor device that is operative to execute instructions that enable actions, including:
• mapping at least one dataset provided by at least one external data source to one or more fields in at least one dataset template that is operative to normalize the mapped dataset fields for processing, wherein the at least one dataset mapped to the at least one dataset template includes information related to providing at least one offering;
• employing a category template to allocate the mapped dataset information to a plurality of categories, wherein each of the plurality of categories is allocated a percentage of the mapped dataset information values, wherein an allocation to each category relates to the providing of the at least one offering, and wherein each category is aggregated into one of a plurality of summing categories;
• and
• generating a total cost value of providing the at least one offering based on at least the summing categories and a model for determining the total cost value of the at least one offering based at least on the allocation to at least one category.

A system for determining over a network the total cost for providing at least one offering, comprising:

• a first network device, including:
• a transceiver for communicating over the network;
• a memory for storing at least instructions;
• a processor device that is operative to execute instructions that enable actions, including:
• enabling access to at least one external data source that includes at least one dataset;
• and
• a second network device, including:
• a transceiver for communicating over the network;
• a memory for storing at least instructions;
• a processor device that is operative to execute instructions that enable actions, including:
• accessing the at least one external data source that includes the at least one dataset;
• mapping at least one dataset provided by at least one external data source to one or more fields in at least one dataset template that is operative to normalize the mapped dataset fields for processing, wherein the at least one dataset mapped to the at least one dataset template includes information related to providing at least one offering;
• employing a category template to allocate the mapped dataset information to a plurality of categories, wherein each of the plurality of categories is allocated a percentage of the mapped dataset information values, wherein an allocation to each category relates to the providing of the at least one offering, and wherein each category is aggregated into one of a plurality of summing categories;
• and
• generating a total cost value of providing the at least one offering based on at least the summing categories and a model for determining the total cost value of the at least one offering based at least on the allocation to at least one category.

A processor readable non-transitive storage media that includes instructions for determining over a network a total cost for providing at least one offering, wherein a network device that executes at least a portion of the instructions enables actions, comprising:

• mapping at least one dataset provided by at least one external data source to one or more fields in at least one dataset template that is operative to normalize the mapped dataset fields for processing, wherein the at least one dataset mapped to the at least one dataset template includes information related to providing at least one offering;
• employing a category template to allocate the mapped dataset information to a plurality of categories, wherein each of the plurality of categories is allocated a percentage of the mapped dataset information values, wherein an allocation to each category relates to the providing of the at least one offering, and wherein each category is aggregated into one of a plurality of summing categories;
• and
• generating a total cost value of providing the at least one offering based on at least the summing categories and a model for determining the total cost value of the at least one offering based at least on the allocation to at least one category.
