摘要： A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: receiving an offer request including one or more desired services, and selecting available offerings, each of which include at least one of the desired services. A determination is made whether available benchmarks exist for each of the at least one desired service included in each of the selected available offerings. For each desired service determined as not having available benchmarks, a draft benchmark is computed for each of a plurality of criteria. A confidence weight is also computed for each of the draft benchmarks. The available benchmarks, the draft benchmarks, and the confidence weights are further used to construct an offer which is submitted in response to the received offer request. Moreover, the draft benchmarks and the corresponding confidence weights are re-computed for each of the respective desired services in response to determining that the submitted offer was not accepted.
