1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
referencing an index having a plurality of classes, a plurality of tiers, and a plurality of ratios, each ratio corresponding to a particular combination of a class and a tier in the index;
for each instance of a plurality of instances encrypted in blocks of a distributed electronic ledger and received from an entity server in a predetermined period of time:
determining that the instance corresponds to one of the plurality of classes and one of the plurality of tiers in the index;
identifying at least one ratio that corresponds to a combination of the one class and the one tier to which the instance is determined to correspond;
determining a delivery value for the instance; and
determining a contribution amount for the instance based on the corresponding at least one ratio identified;
determining a cumulative delivery value and a cumulative contribution amount of the plurality of instances for the predetermined period of time;
determining whether the cumulative contribution amount or the cumulative delivery value is greater; and
automatically adjusting at least one of the plurality of ratios for a future predetermined period of time based on whether the cumulative contribution amount or the cumulative delivery value is greater.
