Abstract

In certain aspects of the disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes receiving an initial order based on a user input. The method includes mapping out correct steps from the initial order to settlement. The method includes validating instructions at each step. The method includes recording data pertaining to permit the settlement of the transaction.

Claims (56)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

accessing transaction data corresponding to a transaction requesting transfer of an asset between a first entity and a second entity at an Alternative Trading System (ATS), the transaction including a sequence of transaction stages;

configuring a computerized validation service to independently validate: (1) each transaction stage in the sequence of transaction stages and (2) appropriate transaction completion;

prior to detecting initiation of the transaction and based on ATS rules and the transaction data:

per each transaction stage in the sequence of transaction stages, precomputing intended transaction stage output from the transaction stage; and

precomputing intended transaction results of the transaction; and

in parallel and concurrently with configuring the computerized validation service, detecting initiation of the transaction at the ATS including attempting to transfer the asset between the first entity and the second entity; and

monitoring the transaction at the ATS, including:

digitally intercepting actual output from an implemented transaction stage from among the sequence of transaction stages;

validating the implemented transaction stage by comparing the intercepted actual output against precomputed intended transaction stage output corresponding to the implemented transaction stage;

gathering comparison results from the comparison; and

controlling how the transaction proceeds at the ATS based on the comparison results.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein controlling how the transaction proceeds comprises:

approving transaction progression to a next transaction stage within the plurality of transaction stages based on the comparison results; and

electronically notifying the ATS of the approval.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein electronically notifying the ATS of the approval comprises sending an approval key to the ATS.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein digitally intercepting actual output from the implemented transaction stage comprises intercepting at least two of: a seller ID, a property ID, a buyer ID, a share ID, an amount of shares, and a value of shares.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein sending an approval key comprises sending an encrypted approval key.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein controlling how the transaction proceeds comprises:

preventing progression to a next transaction stage within the plurality of transaction stages based on the comparison results identifying a transaction error; and

electronically notifying the ATS of the error.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving updated actual output of retrying the implemented transaction stage from an artificial intelligence self-healing process subsequent to notifying the ATS of the error;

further comparing the updated actual output against the corresponding intended transaction stage output precomputed for the implemented transaction stage;

gathering further comparison results from the further comparison; and

approving transaction progression to the next transaction stage based on the further comparison results.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein gathering comparison results comprises detecting that the actual output matches the corresponding intended transaction stage output precomputed for the implemented transaction stage.

9. A system comprising;

one or more processors; and

system memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to:

access transaction data corresponding to a transaction requesting transfer of an asset between a first entity and a second entity at an Alternative Trading System (ATS), the transaction including a sequence of transaction stages;

configure a computerized validation service to independently validate: (1) each transaction stage in the sequence of transaction stages and (2) appropriate transaction completion;

prior to detecting initiation of the transaction and based on ATS rules and the transaction data:

per each transaction stage in the sequence of transaction stages, precompute intended transaction stage output from the transaction stage; and

precompute intended transaction results of the transaction; and

in parallel and concurrently with configuring the computerized validation service, detect initiation of the transaction at the ATS including attempting to transfer the asset between the first entity and the second entity; and

monitor the transaction at the ATS, including:

digitally intercept actual output from an implemented transaction stage from among the sequence of transaction stages;

validate the implemented transaction stage by comparing the intercepted actual output against precomputed intended transaction stage output corresponding to the implemented transaction stage;

gather comparison results from the comparison; and

control how the transaction proceeds at the ATS based on the comparison results.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to control how the transaction proceeds comprise instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to:

approve transaction progression to a next transaction stage within the plurality of transaction stages based on the comparison results; and

electronically notify the ATS of the approval.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to electronically notify the computerized transaction ecosystem of the approval comprise instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to send an approval key to the computerized transaction ecosystem.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to digitally intercept actual output from the implemented transaction stage comprise instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to intercept at least two of: a seller ID, a property ID, a buyer ID, a share ID, an amount of shares, and a value of shares.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to send an approval key comprise instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to send an encrypted approval key.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to control how the transaction proceeds comprise instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to:

prevent progression to a next transaction stage within the plurality of transaction stages based on the comparison results identifying a transaction error; and

electronically notify the ATS of the error.

15. The system of claim 14 , further comprising instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to:

receive updated actual output of retrying the implemented transaction stage from an artificial intelligence self-healing process subsequent to notifying the ATS of the error;

further compare the updated actual output against the corresponding intended transaction stage output precomputed for the implemented transaction stage;

gather comparison results from the further comparison; and

approve transaction progression to the next transaction stage based on the further comparison results.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to gather comparison results comprise instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to detect that the actual output matches the corresponding intended transaction stage output precomputed for the implemented transaction stage.
