Abstract

A financial-service system that manages content objects includes a chronicles platform with a chronicle associated with a loan request. A content manager determines a set of content objects to be associated with the chronicle and generates a bucket for each content object of the set of content objects. Each bucket is associated with a name and is configured to receive an associated content object. The chronicle is populated with the generated buckets. An interface that detects a user action and that thereafter receives or generates a content object, which is detected by the content manager and associated with a bucket. The content manager causes the bucket to receive the content object and presents representations of the buckets to a user. Representations of one or more buckets that have received a content object differ from representations of one or more other buckets that have not received a content object.

Claims (68)

1. A financial-service system for assessing management of requests for financial services, the financial-service system comprising:

one or more processors;

a chronicles platform that includes a set of loan-request chronicles, wherein:

each loan-request chronicle in the set of loan-request chronicles is associated with a request for a loan;

each loan-request chronicle in the set of loan-request chronicles including a data structure that includes a response parameter indicative of:

a pendency of the request for the loan;

a pre-approval decision associated with the request for the loan;

a final approval decision for the request for the loan was approved; or

an interest rate or type of interest rate of a loan associated with the request for the loan;

each loan-request chronicle in the set of loan-request chronicles is associated, in the chronicle platform, with a second parameter that identifies a demographic characteristic of an entity applying for the loan or an entity that is or was responsible for at least partly processing the request for the loan; and

an inter-chronicle summarizer that determines a summarization variable based on the response parameter in each of the loan-request chronicles in the set of loan-request chronicles, wherein the determined summarization variable or processed version thereof includes an average, median, distribution statistic or predicted response parameter;

a per-chronicle analyzer that:

accesses a response parameter of a loan-request chronicle by comparing the response parameter to the determined summarization variable;

determines, based on the assessment, that the response parameter is different than the determined summarization variable or that a difference between the response parameter and the determined summarization variable exceeds a threshold; and

characterizes, based on the determining, the loan-request chronicle as an outlier chronicle; and

a visualizer that generates a presentation that includes:

an indication that an outlier chronicle has been identified; and

an identification of a second parameter associated with the outlier chronicle.

2. The financial-service system for assessing management of requests for financial services as recited in claim 1 , wherein the second parameter identifies a branch, office or agent that is or was responsible for at least partly processing the request for the loan.

3. The financial-service system for assessing management of requests for financial services as recited in claim 1 , wherein a same branch, office or agent is identified as having been or being responsible for at least partly processing the request for the loan for each loan-request chronicle in the set of loan-request chronicles, and wherein the second parameter identifies a requestor demographic characteristic associated with the outlier chronicle.

4. The financial-service system for assessing management of requests for financial services as recited in claim 1 , wherein the loan-request chronicle is in the set of loan-request chronicles, such that the determined summarization variable is determined at least in part, based on the response parameter in the loan-request chronicle.

5. The financial-service system for assessing management of requests for financial services as recited in claim 1 , wherein the response parameter is indicative of a pendency of the request for the loan.

6. The financial-service system for assessing management of requests for financial services as recited in claim 1 , wherein the determined summarization variable is determined in response to detection of event indicating that outlier analysis to be performed.

7. The financial-service system for assessing management of requests for financial services as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a summarization level adapter that identifies a number of loan-request chronicles to include in the set of loan-request chronicles based on detected input.

8. The financial-service system for assessing management of requests for financial services as recited in claim 1 , wherein the response parameter includes a pre-approval decision, an approval decision or an interest rate.

9. The financial-service system for assessing management of requests for financial services as recited in claim 1 , wherein the per-chronicle analyzer further:

assesses, for each of a plurality of loan-request chronicles, a response parameter of the loan-request chronicle by comparing the response parameter to the determined summarization variable;

determines, for each of the plurality of loan-request chronicles and based on the assessment, that the response parameter is different than the determined summarization variable or that a difference between the response parameter and the determined summarization variable exceeds a threshold; and

characterizes, for each of the plurality of loan-request chronicles and based on the determining, the loan-request chronicle as an outlier chronicle;

wherein the presentation includes an indication that a plurality of outlier chronicles has been identified.

10. A method for assessing management of requests for financial services, the financial-service system comprising:

accessing a chronicles platform that includes a set of loan-request chronicles, wherein:

each loan-request chronicle in the set of loan-request chronicles is associated with a request for a loan;

each loan-request chronicle in the set of loan-request chronicles including a data structure that includes a response parameter indicative of a pendency of the request for the loan or a characteristic of a response to the request for the loan; and

each loan-request chronicle in the set of loan-request chronicles is associated, in the chronicle platform, with a second parameter that identifies a demographic characteristic of an entity applying for the loan or an entity that is or was responsible for at least partly processing the request for the loan; and

determining a summarization variable based on the response parameter in each of the loan-request chronicles in the set of loan-request chronicles, wherein the determined summarization variable or processed version thereof includes an average, median, distribution statistic or predicted response parameter;

assessing, using one or more processors, a response parameter of a loan-request chronicle by comparing the response parameter to the determined summarization variable;

determining, using the one or more processors and based on the assessment, that the response parameter is different than the determined summarization variable or that a difference between the response parameter and the determined summarization variable exceeds a threshold;

characterizing, using the one or more processor and based on the determining, the loan-request chronicle as an outlier chronicle; and

generating a presentation that includes:

an indication that an outlier chronicle has been identified; and

an identification of a second parameter associated with the outlier chronicle.

11. The method for assessing management of requests for financial services as recited in claim 10 , wherein the second parameter identifies a branch, office or agent that is or was responsible for at least partly processing the request for the loan.

12. The method for assessing management of requests for financial services as recited in claim 10 , wherein a same branch, office or agent is identified as having been or being responsible for at least partly processing the request for the loan for each loan-request chronicle in the set of loan-request chronicles, and wherein the second parameter identifies a requestor demographic characteristic associated with the outlier chronicle.

13. The method for assessing management of requests for financial services as recited in claim 10 , wherein the loan-request chronicle is in the set of loan-request chronicles, such that the determined summarization variable is determined at least in part, based on the response parameter in the loan-request chronicle.
