A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12001927B2) discloses a computer-implemented method that utilizes a machine-learning predictive engine to predict failures in transaction occurrences. The method involves receiving electronic transaction data from a user via a graphical user interface, determining the likelihood of all parties agreeing to the transaction terms, and suggesting additional terms to increase this likelihood above a predetermined threshold. The machine learning predictive engine is trained on prior transaction data to make these predictions based on similarities between current and historical transactions. The graphical interface displays indicators of likelihood values, suggested transaction terms, and the overall agreement likelihood to assist users in making informed decisions during transactions.

Furthermore, the patent details additional features such as training the predictive engine based on electronic prior transaction data, determining weights for candidate transaction terms, acquiring additional data sources for training when necessary, and displaying alerts when transaction terms fall outside acceptable ranges. The method also includes updating effects on likelihood values based on user inputs, determining alternate terms or items to increase agreement likelihood, and providing a range of acceptable transaction terms based on historical data. The system can also handle multiple candidate term packages, display indicators of effects on likelihood values, and adapt to user inputs for improved decision-making. Overall, the patented method aims to enhance transaction prediction accuracy and user decision-making through the use of machine learning technology and graphical user interfaces.
