Systems and methods for generating billing quotes which account for diversity, equity and inclusion

Abstract

Systems and methods for generating client billing quotes are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a method of generating a client billing quote which accounts for diversity, equity, and inclusion considerations includes generating a graphical user interface on a first user terminal that enables a user to create a team from a plurality of available members, calculating at least one score based on member data related to one or more category including at least one of (i) cultural diversity, (ii) gender diversity, (iii) LGBT+ inclusivity, (iv) disability inclusivity, and (v) initiative and accommodation, displaying on the first user terminal at least one grade based on the at least one score, and generating the client billing quote including the at least one score or the at least one grade.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of generating a client billing quote which accounts for diversity, equity, and inclusion considerations, the method comprising:
 generating a graphical user interface on a first user terminal that enables a user to create a team from a plurality of available members;   calculating at least one score based on member data related to one or more category including at least one of (i) cultural diversity, (ii) gender diversity, (iii) LGBT+ inclusivity, (iv) disability inclusivity, and (v) initiative and accommodation;   displaying on the first user terminal at least one grade based on the at least one score; and   generating the client billing quote including the at least one score or the at least one grade.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising
 calculating the at least one score based on member data for members of the team.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising
 calculating the at least one score based on member data for the plurality of available members eligible to be placed on the team.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein
 calculating the at least one score includes comparing the member data to at least one benchmark.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein
 calculating the at least one score includes adding a plurality of subscores for each category.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising
 displaying the at least one grade on the graphical user interface used to create the team from the plurality of available members.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising
 triggering display of the at least one grade based on selection of an icon on the graphical user interface used to create the team from the plurality of available members.   
     
     
         8 . A system programmed to perform the method of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         9 . A method of generating a client billing quote which accounts for diversity, equity, and inclusion considerations, the method comprising:
 storing member data for a plurality of available members eligible to be placed on a team, the member data relating to at least one of (i) cultural diversity, (ii) gender diversity, (iii) LGBT+ inclusivity, (iv) disability inclusivity, and (v) initiative and accommodation;   generating a graphical user interface on a first user terminal that enables a user to create the team from the plurality of available members;   calculating at least one score based on the member data; and   generating the client billing quote including the at least one score or at least one grade based thereon.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , comprising
 calculating the at least one score based on member data for members of the team.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , comprising
 calculating the at least one score based member data for the plurality of available members eligible to be placed on the team.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein
 calculating the at least one score includes comparing the member data to at least one benchmark.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein
 calculating the at least one score includes adding a plurality of subscores for each category.   
     
     
         14 . A system programmed to perform the method of  claim 9 . 
     
     
         15 . A system for generating a client billing quote which accounts for diversity, equity, and inclusion considerations, the system comprising:
 at least one memory configured to store member data for a plurality of available members eligible to be placed on a team, the member data relating to at least one of (i) cultural diversity, (ii) gender diversity, (iii) LGBT+ inclusivity, (iv) disability inclusivity, and (v) initiative and accommodation; and   at least one processor programmed to: generate a graphical user interface on a first user terminal that enables a user to create the team from the plurality of available members; and generate the client billing quote including at least one score or grade determined from the member data.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein
 the at least one processor is programmed to calculate the at least one score based on member data for members of the team.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein
 the at least one processor is programmed to calculate the at least one score based member data for the plurality of available members eligible to be placed on the team.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein
 the at least one processor is programmed to calculate the at least one score by comparing the member data to at least one benchmark.   
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein
 the at least one processor is programmed to calculate the at least one score by dividing the member data by at least one benchmark.   
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein
 the at least one processor is programmed to calculate the at least one score for a category by adding a plurality of subscores for each category.
