predicting, by a computer processor, a set of changes in the subset of the gathered information, wherein the predicted set of changes includes a likely case change, a worst-case change and a best case change; and
generating, by a computer processor, a range of predicted scores based at least in part on the subset of the gathered information and the predicted set of changes to the subset of the gathered information, wherein the range of predicted scores comprises scores for one or more of the likely case change, the worst-case change or the best-case change.
