Abstract

Discussed herein is an evaluation and scoring system that may be used to quickly assess and guide financial decisions, facilitate or create communities of interest, and assist in accessing markets and/or consumers that may not have been sufficiently considered before.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a processor configured to;

analyze data comprising financial data;

determine a first financial metric based on the analysis of the data; and

a display in communication with the processor configured to;

display a balance with a plurality of balance arms that tilts based on the first financial metric.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the display is further configured to:

display an object that protrudes from a substantially center point of the balance, the protruding object is manipulated so that the shape of the protruding object changes based on the first financial metric.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the protruding object has a projection that is an indicator of a financial metric.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein an amount and direction of tilt of the balance is an indicator of a financial metric.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to manipulate an object near an end of a first balance arm of the plurality of balance arms, wherein the object changes appearance based on a second financial metric;

and

wherein the display is further configured to display the manipulated object.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the changed appearance comprises at least one of a change in shape of the object, a change in size of the object, a change in color of the object, a change of rate of rotation of the object, or a change of patterns on the object.

7. A method comprising:

analyzing, on a processor, data comprising financial data;

determining a first financial metric based on the analysis of the data; and

transmitting instructions to display a balance with a plurality of balance arms that tilts based on the first financial metric.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

displaying an object that protrudes from a substantially center point of the balance; and

manipulating the object so that the shape of the object changes based on the first financial metric.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the object that protrudes has a projection that is an indicator of a financial metric.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein an amount and direction of tilt of the balance is an indicator of a financial metric.

11. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

manipulating an object near an end of a first balance arm of the plurality of balance arms, wherein the object changes appearance based on a second financial metric; and

displaying the manipulated object.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the changed appearance comprises at least one of a change in shape of the object, a change in size of the object, a change in color of the object, a change of rate of rotation of the object, or a change of patterns on the object.

13. The method of claim 7, wherein the balance has three balance arms.

14. A computer-readable storage medium having executable instructions stored thereon that when executed, perform operations comprising:

analyzing, on a processor, data comprising financial data;

determining a first financial metric based on the analysis of the data; and

transmitting instructions to display a balance with a plurality of balance arms that tilts based on the first financial metric.

15. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 14, the operations further comprising:

displaying an object that protrudes from a substantially center point of the balance; and

manipulating the object so that the shape of the object changes based on the first financial metric.

16. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the object that protrudes has a projection that is an indicator of a financial metric.

17. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein an amount and direction of tilt of the balance is an indicator of a financial metric.

18. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 14, the operations further comprising:

manipulating an object near an end of a first balance arm of the plurality of balance arms, wherein the object changes appearance based on a second financial metric; and

displaying the manipulated object.

19. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 18, wherein the changed appearance comprises at least one of a change in shape of the object, a change in size of the object, a change in color of the object, a change of rate of rotation of the object, or a change of patterns on the object.

20. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the balance has three balance arms.
