Enhanced rating interface and techniques

A method comprising:

• transmitting, by a server to a plurality of computing devices associated with a plurality of users within a network, a first command for each computing device of the plurality of computing devices to display a request for a rating input regarding a subject matter on a user interface;
• receiving, by the server, rating inputs from the plurality of computing devices;
• synchronizing processing of the rating input by:
• transmitting a second command to each computing device in the plurality of computing devices to display a wait screen on the user interface;
• and
• waiting until the rating inputs from all of the plurality of computing devices are received by the server;
• upon the server receiving the rating inputs from the plurality of computing devices,
• based on the rating inputs associated with the plurality of users within the network, generating a summary of the rating inputs, and
• releasing the plurality of computing devices from displaying the wait screen on the user interface by transmitting a third command to each computing device in the plurality of computing devices to:
• display the summary of the rating inputs associated with the plurality of users within the network.

A system comprising:

• a plurality of computing devices associated with a plurality of users within a network;
• and
• a server computing device comprising:
• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the server computing device to:
• transmit, to the plurality of computing devices associated with the plurality of users within the network, a first command for each computing device of the plurality of computing devices to display a request for a rating input regarding a subject matter on a user interface;
• receive rating inputs from the plurality of computing devices;
• synchronize processing of the rating input by:
• transmitting a second command to each computing device in the plurality of computing devices to display a wait screen on the user interface;
• and
• waiting until the rating inputs from all of the plurality of computing devices are received by the server computing device;
• upon the server computing device receiving the rating inputs from the plurality of computing devices,
• based on the rating inputs associated with the plurality of users within the network, generate a summary of the rating inputs, and
• release the plurality of computing devices from displaying the wait screen on the user interface by transmitting a third command to each computing device in the plurality of computing devices to:
• display the summary of the rating inputs associated with the plurality of users within the network.

A system comprising:

• a plurality of computing devices associated with users within a network;
• and
• a server, wherein the server is configured to:
• transmit, to the plurality of computing devices associated with the users within the network, a first command for each computing device of the plurality of computing devices to display a request for peer rating inputs on a user interface;
• receive the peer rating inputs from the plurality of computing devices;
• synchronize processing of the peer rating inputs by:
• transmitting a second command to each computing device in the plurality of computing devices to display a wait screen on the user interface;
• and
• waiting until the peer rating inputs from all of the plurality of computing devices are received by the server;
• upon the server receiving the peer rating inputs from the plurality of computing devices,
• based on the peer rating inputs from the plurality of computing devices, generate a human network map that represents informal relationships between the users within the network, and
• release the plurality of computing devices from displaying the wait screen on the user interface by transmitting, to the plurality of computing devices, a third command to each computing device in the plurality of computing devices to:
• display the human network map on the user interface, the human network map including:
• a plurality of nodes with each node of the plurality of nodes representing a user within the network;
• one or more lines, with each line of the one or more lines extending between two nodes of the plurality of nodes within the human network map, a first node of the two nodes representing a first user that has provided a peer rating for a second user and a second node of the two nodes representing the second user.
