1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions to cause at least one data processor to: receive a target value for an absolute target metric; receive an achievement boundary range; receive specific values, for achievement boundary ranges; receive an actual value for the absolute target metric; calculate the specific boundary range values lines crossed between the absolute target metric target value and the actual value for the absolute target metric; calculate a percentage placement for the actual value within the boundary range; calculate an overall percentage placement value for the actual value; and return a value representing the relationship between the target value and the actual value.
