Abstract

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to predictive modeling for evaluating vehicles. A device may receive a customer identifier (e.g., a user identification number, a social security number, driver license number, etc.). The device may retrieve credit data associated with the user identifier and vehicle data associated with a vehicle. The device may determine a first weight for the credit data and a second weight for the vehicle data. The device may determine, based on the first weight and the second weight, a value. The device may determine whether or not the value exceeds a profitability threshold. The device may determine a loan information associated with the customer identifier. The device may send a first indication of the product or service to a user device for presentation. The device may send a second indication of the loan information to the second device for presentation.

comparing, by the device, the fourth profit value to a profitability threshold.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

determining, by the device, that the first profit value is less than the profitability threshold and the fourth profit value is greater than the profitability threshold; and

replacing, by the device, the first indication of the product or service by a third indication of the second product or service.

7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

determining, by the device, that the first profit value and the fourth profit value are greater than the profitability threshold;

determining, by the device, that the fourth profit value is less than the first profit value; and

replacing, by the device, the first indication of the product or service by a third indication of the second product or service.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors of a device result in performing operations comprising:

receiving a customer identifier associated;

receiving credit data associated with the customer identifier and vehicle data associated with a vehicle;

determining a first weight for the credit data and a second weight for the vehicle data, the first weight and the second weight associated with a first profit value indicative of a first profitability for a product or service, wherein the credit data comprises a first dataset and a second dataset, and the vehicle data comprises a third dataset and a fourth dataset;

determining, based on the first weight and the second weight, the first profit value;

determining a first sub-weight for the first dataset, a second sub-weight for the second dataset, a third sub-weight for the third dataset, and a fourth sub-weight for the fourth dataset;

receiving a feedback measurement indicative of user purchases associated with the product or service;

determining, based on the feedback measurement, a second profit value indicative of a first profitability for the product or service;

determining an adjustment to at least one sub-weight of the first sub-weight, the second sub-weight, the third sub-weight, and the fourth sub-weight is above a sub-weight threshold; and

determining, based on the adjustment to the at least one sub-weight, a third profit value indicative of a third profitability for the product or service, wherein the third profit value is closer to the second profit value than the first profit value is to the second profit value;

determining a loan information associated with the customer identifier;

sending a first indication of the product or service to a user device for presentation; and

sending a second indication of the loan information to the user device for presentation.
