ABSTRACT:
Computer-implemented methods and systems for use in analyzing costs associated with cost flow models having components of relationships and entities. Reduction criteria is received for use in reducing number of components that are in a first cost flow model. The reduction criteria is used to generate a reduced cost flow model. The reduced cost flow model has less components than the number of components that are in the received first cost flow model.
