1. A computer system for managing consultation requests comprising:
- at least one processor;
a first storage in communication with the at least one processor, wherein first and second rating values are stored in the first storage;
a first communication port in communication with the at least one processor, wherein the first communication port is configured to receive first data representing a consultation request, and wherein first software instructions are executed by the at least one processor to process the first data and to send second data representing the consultation request to first and second reviewers;
a second communication port in communication with the at least one processor, wherein the second communication port is configured to receive third data representing a response to the consultation request provided by the first reviewer and is also configured to receive fourth data representing a response to the consultation request provided by the second reviewer, and wherein second software instructions are executed by the at least one processor to process the third and fourth data and to send to a requestor fifth data representing the responses to the consultation request provided by the first and second reviewers; and
a third communication port in communication with the at least one processor, wherein the third communication port is configured to receive sixth data representing a payment value corresponding to the value of the responses represented by the fifth data, wherein third software instructions are executed by the at least one processor to process the sixth data, to combine a value represented by the sixth data with seventh data representing the value of an account of which each of the first and second reviewers owns a fractional share to calculate a modified account value, to calculate a modified fractional share of the account owned by the first reviewer based on the first rating value, and to calculate a modified fractional share of the account owned by the second reviewer based on the second rating value.
