DIGITAL CREDENTIAL ANALYSIS IN A DIGITAL CREDENTIAL PLATFORM
Techniques described herein relate to analyzing and valuating individual issuances of digital credentials to particular users within a digital credential platform. A digital credential platform server may receive and/or retrieve data relating to digital credential receivers and particular types of digital credentials. The platform server then may query data stores of field data objects and determine various field data objects associated with the particular types of digital credentials. Value data may be determined for any associated field data objects, and the platform server then may compute values for the particular types of digital credentials based on the values for the corresponding field data objects. In some cases, valuations of particular types of digital credential may depend on characteristics of credential receivers, such as the set of additional digital credentials currently or previously issued to the credential receiver, or additional factors such as individual receiver characteristics or location.
