match using the computing device in communication with a resource capacity database, the resources of the securities research entity to the plurality of accounts based at least in part on the service scores for each account, wherein the match of the resources to the accounts comprises;
determining with the computing device a number of preference points assigned to each account of the plurality of accounts based on the service score of the account;
receiving resource capacity data from the resource capacity database, wherein the resource capacity data indicates a quantity of resources available to be matched;
for each of the plurality of accounts, allocating the preference points assigned to the account across one or more of the resources of the securities research entity described by the resource capacity data and related to the account; and
