Abstract:

A system and method for utilizing a multifaceted entity profile are disclosed. A method incorporating teachings of the present disclosure may include identifying a first to be profiled entity and inputting a demonstrable characteristic for the first entity into a predefined and multifaceted profile template. The demonstrable characteristic may include, for example, a physical address for the first entity or a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number for the first entity. The method may also include inputting a presumed characteristic for the first entity into the profile template. In some implementations, the presumed characteristic may be somewhat subjective. In practice, a multifaceted profile based at least in part on the demonstrable characteristic and the presumed characteristic may be generated for the first entity, and the multifaceted profile may filtered against a selected criteria to identify a selected approach for dealing with the first entity.
