Performance of control processes and management of risk information

Abstract

A computer system receives a collection of attributes that defines a procedure executed by a control tool in performing at least a portion of the attributes. Each respective attribute has a defined data structure, and the collection of attributes includes a genesis attribute that defines a starting attribute performed by the control tool. The collection of attributes further includes a first successor attribute, a second successor attribute, and a third successor attribute. The data structure for each respective attribute of the collection of attributes defines a plurality of data elements, where each data element is associated with a function. The data structure for each respective attribute further defines at least one joining operand for the plurality of data elements.

1 . A method, comprising:
 receiving, via a computer system, from a user, a collection of attributes that defines a procedure executed by a control tool in performing at least a portion of the attributes, each respective attribute having a data structure defined by the user, the collection of attributes including a genesis attribute that defines a starting attribute performed by the control tool, and the collection of attributes further including a first successor attribute, a second successor attribute, and a third successor attribute, wherein:
 the data structure for each respective attribute of the collection of attributes defines a plurality of data elements, each data element associated with a function; and 
 the data structure for each respective attribute of the collection of attributes defines at least one joining operand for the plurality of data elements; and 
   executing, using the computer system, the control tool, the executing comprising performing the genesis attribute followed by performing the first successor attribute, and performing the second successor attribute based on obtaining a true decision outcome from performing the first successor attribute.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the data structure of the first successor attribute defines the second successor attribute performed based on a true decision outcome and the third successor attribute performed based on a false decision outcome; and   each respective attribute of the collection of attributes includes a respective tolerable error rate used for determining whether a number of defects are within an acceptable range.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving, via the computer system, a location of one or more data files, and credentials necessary for the computer system to access the one or more data files, wherein the one or more data files contain source data;   storing the location and the credentials in at least one database accessible by the computer system;   obtaining, via the computer system, a plurality of records from the source data, each record evaluated during execution of the control tool;   storing a plurality of results from the executing of the control tool; and   ending execution of the control tool when there are no additional successor attributes to be performed.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising comparing the tolerable error rate to the actual error rate for each respective attribute of the collection of attributes. 
     
     
         5 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions, which when executed, cause a computer system to:
 receive a definition of a collection of attributes defining a procedure for use when executing a control tool, each respective attribute having a data structure defined by a user, and the collection of attributes including a genesis attribute that defines a starting attribute, and the collection of attributes further including first, second, and third successor attributes, wherein the data structure of the first successor attribute defines the second successor attribute performed for a true decision outcome and the third successor attribute performed for a false decision outcome, and wherein:
 the data structure for each respective attribute of the collection of attributes defines a plurality of data elements, each data element associated with a function; and 
 the data structure for each respective attribute of the collection of attributes defines at least one joining operand for the plurality of data elements; 
   obtain a plurality of records based on source data, each record evaluated during execution of the control tool;   execute, using the computer system, the control tool, the executing comprising performing the genesis attribute followed by performing the first successor attribute, and performing the second successor attribute based on a true decision outcome from performing the first successor attribute.   
     
     
         6 . The computer-readable storage medium of  claim 5 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer system to:
 receive a location of one or more data files, wherein the one or more data files contain the source data; and   store the location for access by the computer system.   
     
     
         7 . A system, comprising:
 at least one processor; and   memory storing instructions configured to instruct the at least one processor to:
 receive a collection of attributes that defines a procedure executed by a control tool in performing at least a portion of the attributes, each respective attribute having a data structure defined by a user, the collection of attributes including a genesis attribute that defines a starting attribute performed by the control tool, and the collection of attributes further including a first successor attribute, a second successor attribute, and a third successor attribute, wherein the data structure of the first successor attribute defines the second successor attribute performed based on a true decision outcome and the third successor attribute performed based on a false decision outcome, and wherein:
 the data structure for each respective attribute of the collection of attributes defines a plurality of data elements, each data element associated with a function; and 
 the data structure for each respective attribute of the collection of attributes defines at least one joining operand for the plurality of data elements; 
 
 obtain a plurality of records using a location of one or more data files, each record evaluated during execution of the control tool; and 
 execute the control tool, the executing comprising performing the genesis attribute followed by performing the first successor attribute, and performing the second successor attribute based on obtaining a true decision outcome from performing the first successor attribute. 
   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the instructions are further configured to instruct the at least one processor to receive the location of the one or more data files.
