an electronic device, the electronic device has a display with a graphic user interface (GUI);

a memory storage unit configured to store a table listing, initial values for integer constants N and M, and a plurality P of influencing factors, wherein P is an integer constant;

a plurality of P influencing factors, each of the influencing factors are configured to be displayed to a user via the GUI in a first menu and a subset selected by the user from that menu, the selected influencing factors of the plurality of P influencing factors comprises a first set of N or less influencing factors to form a top ranking of at most N ranking values, a remaining of the P influencing factors subsequently displayed in a second menu from which a second set of M or less influencing factors to form a bottom rank of at most M ranking values; the second menu is adaptive to choices made in the first menu, wherein P is a value equal to or greater than a sum of N and M;

the table listing having a unique cell for each unique combination able to be specified by a user given P, N, and M, wherein each cell stores a value;

a processing unit; and

an input-output device driver is electrically connected to the processing unit, the input-output device driver is configured transmit the top rank set and the bottom rank set to the processing unit, the processing unit to determine the index number of the table listing that corresponds to a mapping of the top rank and the bottom rank, the memory storage unit to retrieve a predetermined attribute preferences-to-entity ranking, which is the value stored in a unique one of the cells, associated with the mapping of the top rank and the bottom rank and transmit the predetermined attribute preferences-to-entity ranking to the display of the electronic device.
