Indexing entities based on performance metrics

A method of connecting compatible entities based on a single indexing system, comprising:

• retrieving, by a processor, one or more entity characteristics and an entity index value for an entity;
• comparing, by the processor, the one or more entity characteristics and entity index value to stored entity characteristics and associated stored entity index values to determine one or more compatible entities, wherein the entity index value and stored entity index values are indicative of entity performance ability and incorporated in the same indexing system;
• determining, by the processor, one or more compatible entities based on the comparison, wherein compatible entities have at least one compatible entity characteristic and similar performance abilities indicated by comparable entity index values within the indexing system;
• and
• transmitting, to a user device, compatible entity data based on the determination.

An entity indexing system for indexing diverse entities based on comparable health metrics, comprising:

• a database storing entity information and associated entity index values, wherein the associated entity index values are comparable indicators of entity health;
• a processing device;
• and
• a computer readable medium containing programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to:
• receive entity information for an entity;
• determine performance rate based on financial data associated with the entity information;
• estimate growth ability based on the financial data and operational data associated with the entity information;
• weight the performance rate and growth ability based on respective performance influencing factors and growth influencing factors associated with the entity information;
• determine an entity index value for the entity based on the weighted performance rate and growth ability;
• and
• store, in the database, the entity index value associated with the entity information for the entity.
