Radial data visualization system

1. A method for interactive visualization of a decision assessment for an entity on a graphical user interface, the method comprising:

receiving, by the computer system, unstructured risk data associated with an entity from one or more source;

parsing the unstructured risk data to produce one or more risk information element;

categorizing each risk information element as an issue assigned to a policy that is promulgated pursuant to a guideline; determining whether each issue satisfies the policy under the guideline;

generating, by a computer processor, a decision assessment model having a first set of circular sectors on a first ring that represents each issue, a second set of circular sectors on a second ring that represents each policy, and a third set of circular sectors on a third ring that represents each guideline, wherein the first set of circular sectors, the second set of circular sectors and the third set of circular sectors comprise concentric rings with a common center that represents a status indicator;

displaying the decision assessment model on the graphical user interface wherein an appearance of the first, second and third set of circular sectors for a particular set of issue, policy and guideline changes based on the determination of whether the issue satisfies the policy and an appearance of the common center changes based on an aggregated assessment of each issue that must satisfy each policy;

receiving input, through the graphical user interface, from a user of the graphical user interface, in response to the displaying of the decision assessment model on the graphical user interface, the input corresponding to a cursor or pointer being positioned by the user of the graphical user interface over a circular sector of the decision assessment model displayed on the graphical user interface that represents a particular guideline, policy, or issue; and

in response to the input received through the graphical user interface from the user of the graphical user interface, displaying one or more source document, data source, or list of sources of information related to the particular guideline, policy, or issue.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more issue related to the policy and the one or more policy related to the guideline are bounded by common radial lines.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the status indicator comprises a status displayed as approved, pending or rejected.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the status indicator further comprises a color.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a color of the displayed issue comprises green when a the issue satisfies the policy, red when the issue does not satisfy the policy, and yellow when whether the issue satisfies the policy is unresolved.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a value of a central angle of one or more circular sector is defined by the user.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a value of a central angle of one or more circular sector is based on a risk level as a proportion of a total risk score.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a direction of an axis of the first, second and third ring is moveable, by the user, relative to a plane defining a display screen of the graphic user interface.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a direction of an axis of the first, second and third ring represents time and the interactive visualization comprises a cylinder whereby the user selects a time period to display a decision assessment performed during that time period.

10. The method of claim 1 , each circular sector of the at least a first set of circular sectors comprises an annulus with an area of the circular sector represented by the formula:

Aps =( r 2* L 2/2)−( r 1* L 1/2)

wherein the circular sector is bounded by an inner arc L1, outer arc L2, inner radius r1, and outer radius r2.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the one or more source document related to the particular issue in response to the position of the user's pointer over the particular issue comprises displaying one or more source document related to criminality, financial history, lawsuits, employment history, education history, and military record.
