The inputs

The figures the valuation depends on.

The part

What it is

Forecast revenue, brand contribution rate, discount rate, royalty rate, useful life. Each is a judgement and each moves the answer.

Their sources matter: an input taken from a comparable transaction is stronger than one taken from an internal forecast.

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.
