1. A system comprising:
- a processor and a memory;
a platform templates datastore;
a platform innovation engine coupled to the platform templates datastore;
a business model selection engine coupled to the platform templates datastore;
an investment engine coupled to the platform templates datastore;
a jobs and outcomes datastore;
a market selection engine coupled to the jobs and outcomes datastore;
wherein, in operation;
the platform innovation engine adjusts parameters of a template from the platform templates datastore to improve a score associated with a job;
the business model selection engine facilitates generation of a basic business model using a platform associated with the template;
the investment engine;
determines if a venture can create an investment rate of return (IRR) that exceeds an IRR threshold;
recommends, based on the determination, investment in the venture utilizing the platform associated with the template and the basic business model;
the market selection engine selects a market using jobs data from the jobs and outcomes datastore.

Abstract
A technique for performing commercial venture analysis involves establishing an empirically-derived structure and evaluating companies using analytical techniques within that structure. The technique may involve defining jobs, or goals a customer is attempting to reach, with dozens or even hundreds of outcomes. Ideally, the structure and tools facilitate analysis that would not be possible otherwise. Moreover, the nature of the system enables real-time input for changing conditions and the ability to calculate returns for new markets in which products or services do not exist.
