Abstract
A unique method for determining and assigning, from a grouping of individuals or objects (“rankers”), each of these rankers into a specific entity, from a grouping of entities (“ranked entities”) having varying sized capacities (“capacities”), based upon or using each ranker's assigned preference, listed from most preferential to least preferential, to each of the ranked entities (“entry”), where the total number of rankers is equal to or less than the sum of the capacities for all the ranked entities; provided that, the numbers of rankers who prefer specific ranked entities are larger than the capacities of those specific ranked entities.
Claims14
A method for assigning each ranker from a group to an entity from a plurality of entities, comprising the steps of:
- providing a plurality of rankers from the group;
- providing a capacity for each of the plurality of entities;
- determining a total capacity for all of the plurality of entities;
- if the plurality of rankers is equal to or less than the total capacity, performing the following steps:
- (a) listing each of the plurality of entities in order of precedence for each of the plurality of rankers;
- (b) creating an average rating for each of the plurality of entities;
- (c) creating a first criteria rating for each of the plurality of entities corresponding to each of the plurality of rankers;
- (d) determining the most negative first criteria rating created for any of the plurality of rankers;
- (e) identifying which entities from the plurality of entities are associated with the most negative first criteria rating and creating a most negative ranked entity;
- (f) identifying which entities from the plurality of entities are associated with the most negative first criteria rating and creating a plurality of first most negative rankers;
- (g) identifying the capacity for the most negative ranked entity;
- if the total number of the plurality of first most negative rankers is equal to or less than the capacity for the most negative ranked entity;
- (h) assigning each of the plurality of first most negative rankers to the most negative ranked entity and defining each as the assigned rankers.
