System and method of ascertaining market value of an asset, liability, or other article, through a competitive valuation process

摘要

System and method are provided for analyzing the value of an asset, liability, or other article. Generally, this is done by the relationship between two processes. The first process is of gathering and averaging valuation estimates from multiple independent sources. The second process is that of compensating the providers of those estimates according to the proximity of their valuation to the median or average of those estimates. The compensation motivates the providers of valuations, known here as Evaluators, to compete in giving valuations which will be closer to the average or median than other valuations, and they will find that this is accomplished by competing to be more accurate than their competitors. These systems, when working together, find synergy in creating an altogether more accurate system of valuing assets, liabilities, or other articles that may need to be valued, than that of tradition, computerized, or prior art methods.
