Asset class

Parameters

Parameter level scoring

Class score

Scaled score

Publication

Recency, Impact factor

Relevancy (Position of the term in the article)

Sum of all the parameter scores of each document for the relationship

Every parameter has a parameter weightage

Class score is calculated by considering the percentage of weightage for each parameter

Asset class score of each asset class is then scaled between 0 to 1 range

Clinical Trials

Clinical trial status, Phase and disease relevance

Sum of all the parameter scores of each document for the relationship

Patents

Agency which holds the patent recency and relevancy

Sum of all the parameter scores of each document for the relationship

Grants/Congress/News

Recency and relevancy

Sum of all the parameter scores of each document for the relationship
