Systems and methods for providing information symmetry

A computer-implemented method for electronically conducting a negotiation between parties, the method comprising:

• traversing by one or more processors a set of negotiation points stored electronically in a memory accessible by the one or more processors,
• for each negotiation point of the set of negotiation points:
• obtaining over an electronic communication network relevant data from a first set of data sources and pertaining to the negotiation point,
• processing by the one or more processors the relevant data for the negotiation point, including values of one or more similar negotiation points, to generate a suggested initial buyer value for the negotiation point,
• presenting a buyer perspective view of the relevant data obtained for the negotiation point, and
• receiving for storage in an electronic negotiation record in the electronic memory a buyer input value for the negotiation point;
• traversing by the one or more processors the set of negotiation points;
• and
• for each negotiation of the set of negotiation points:
• presenting an associated buyer input value for the negotiation point,
• processing the relevant data for the negotiation point to compare the buyer input value to values for one or more similar negotiation points obtained in the relevant data and generate a suggested initial seller value for the negotiation point,
• presenting a seller perspective view of the relevant data for the negotiation point, and
• receiving for storage in the electronic negotiation record in the electronic memory a seller input value for the negotiation point;
• comparing the seller input value of each negotiation point with a buyer value for that negotiation point to determine that agreement is achieved;
• and
• presenting a manifestation that the agreement is achieved.

A system for presenting information to reduce information asymmetry between parties in a negotiation, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• electronic memory accessible by the one or more processors, the electronic memory to store a set of negotiation points and to store an electronic negotiation record including values for the set of negotiation points;
• a network interface to enable communication with one or more computing devices over an electronic communication network;
• a party portal to, by the one or more processors:
• traverse the set of negotiation points a first pass, wherein for each negotiation point the party portal is to obtain relevant data from a data source for presentation, present a first perspective view of the relevant data according to a first party profile, and receive for storage in the electronic negotiation record in the electronic memory a first party input value for the negotiation point, and
• traverse the set of negotiation points a second pass, wherein for each negotiation point, the party portal is to present an associated buyer input value for the negotiation point, obtain relevant data from the data source for presentation, present a second perspective view of the relevant data according to a second party profile, and receive for storage in the electronic negotiation record in the electronic memory a second party input value for the negotiation point.
