Valuation · The method · Element

The approach

Which valuation method was used.

The part

What it is

Income-based, market-based or cost-based, each answering a slightly different question and each appropriate in different circumstances.

The purpose determines the method. A valuation for a transaction and one for internal management are not interchangeable.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
