Each of the subroutines may generate a banding start price using a different algorithm and may have different input data criteria. Each of those subroutines may be ranked based expected accuracy of a price output by the subroutine. The banding start price may be generated by the highest ranking subroutine for which there is input data satisfying relevant criteria.
