Systems, methods, and software arrangements for improving uniformity of assets within an entity

A computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a computer arrangement, configures the computer arrangement to perform the steps of:

• retrieving data from a database, wherein the data is associated with a plurality of assets which are associated with a particular entity, and the data for each asset of the plurality of assets comprises information associated with a plurality of features of the asset;
• grouping the plurality of assets into at least one cluster of assets based on the data;
• determining a hypothetical standard metric associated with the plurality of assets, the hypothetical standard metric comprising at least one of:
• a Z-score corresponding to a deviation to a norm of the grouping;
• and
• a curved line fitting;
• determining a degree of difference between each of the plurality of assets and the hypothetical standard metric;
• and
• altering at least one feature of at least one asset of the plurality of assets to decrease the degree of difference between the at least one asset and the hypothetical standard metric.

A system for improving uniformity of assets within an entity, comprising:

• a database for storing data, wherein the data is associated with a plurality of assets which are associated with a particular entity, and the data for each asset of the plurality of assets comprises information associated with a plurality of features of the asset;
• and
• a processing arrangement, comprising:
• a computer readable medium;
• and
• a processor, the processor being operable to execute a program of instructions encoded on the computer readable medium, the program of instructions being operable to:
• retrieve the data from the database,
• group the plurality of assets into at least one cluster of assets based on the data,
• determine a hypothetical standard metric associated with the plurality of assets, the hypothetical standard metric comprising at least one of:
• a Z-score corresponding to a deviation to a norm of the grouping;
• and
• a curved line fitting, determine a degree of difference between each of the plurality of assets and the hypothetical standard metric;
• and
• a client-side arrangement for removing at least one asset of the plurality of assets, the client-side arrangement further for altering at least one feature of at least a second asset of the plurality of assets to decrease the degree of difference between the at least a second asset and the hypothetical standard metric.

A system for improving uniformity of assets within an entity, comprising:

• means for storing data, wherein the data is associated with a plurality of assets which are associated with a particular entity, and the data for each asset of the plurality of assets comprises information associated with a plurality of features of the asset;
• means for retrieving the data from the database;
• means for grouping the plurality of assets into at least one cluster of assets based on the data;
• means for determining a hypothetical standard metric associated with the plurality of assets, the hypothetical standard metric comprising at least one of:
• a Z-score corresponding to a deviation to a norm of the grouping;
• and
• a curved line fitting;
• means for determining a degree of difference between each of the plurality of assets and the hypothetical standard metric;
• means for removing at least one asset of the plurality of assets;
• and
• means for altering at least one feature of at least a second asset of the plurality of assets to decrease the degree of difference between the at least a second asset and the hypothetical standard metric.
