Each output traced to its inputs and sources. No black box. No unsourced AI output.

10+ engines. 210 industries. One blended range.

A single number is a guess. A range, blended across 10+ methods (including sector-specific models like Biotech SOTP and MedTech Market Model, plus proprietary algorithms) with confidence weights, is a position you can defend. Every engine shows its sources.

02 — The VA Range™

A valuation is a range. Not a number.

The VA Range is the signature output — a named, confidence-scored, timestamp-sealed band that lives on every certificate, every terminal query, and every VARI print. Bear, base, and bull in one glance.

  • 80% confidence band — calibrated against 12,000+ closed SMB transactions
  • Every assumption deltable — change WACC, exit multiple, growth rate; the band re-renders instantly
  • Full audit trail — every number traces back to its source, engine, and timestamp
