Intangible Asset Valuation MCP Server

Time value of money: discount or compound a single sum, value level and growing annuities and perpetuities, and compute a terminal value by Gordon growth or exit multiple. Method selects the formula. Use to move cash flows through time or to value a terminal value in a DCF; combine with a rate from valuation_discount_rate. For uneven multi-period cash flows use valuation_income_methods; for rate c

Construct discount and capitalization rates: build-up, CAPM, WACC, tax-amortization benefit, control premium, Finnerty DLOM, and currency/country-risk adjustment. Method selects the formula. Use to derive the rate that feeds every income-based method; build_up and capm estimate cost of equity, wacc blends debt and equity. For a cross-border rate with currency and country premia use method currency

Cost approach: depreciated reproduction cost from a cost breakdown and depreciated replacement cost with equivalent utility, both reduced by obsolescence. Method selects the formula. Use when no income or market evidence exists, or to corroborate income and market indications for internally developed intangibles. For income-based indications use valuation_income_methods; for market evidence use va

Market approach: value from comparable transaction revenue multiples or capitalize a royalty stream into a perpetuity value. Method selects the formula. Use when reliable comparable transactions or royalty rates exist for the subject asset. For income-based excess earnings use valuation_income_methods; for royalty-rate selection and adjustment use valuation_royalty_analysis. Per method: comparable

Income approach: relief from royalty, multi-period and single-period excess earnings, incremental cash flow, and contributory asset charges. Method selects the formula. Use for the income-approach arithmetic: relief_from_royalty for IP with observable royalty rates, and excess earnings (mpeem or single_period_excess_earnings) for the residual intangible. For a complete asset-specific valuation of

Intellectual property: risk-adjusted patent value, trademark/brand value, copyright income value, and trade-secret value under secrecy risk. Method selects the formula. Use to value a specific IP right; patent weights projected cash flows by probability of success, trademark uses brand strength to set the royalty. For technology, software, data, and platform assets use valuation_technology; for cu

Technology assets: developed technology under life-cycle risk, software under cost and income, data assets with a quality adjustment, and platforms with network effects. Method selects the formula. Use for developed technology, software, data, and platform intangibles; developed_technology and software blend cost and income evidence. For patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets use valua

Customer-related intangibles: customer relationships with attrition, distribution networks by channel profitability, and non-compete agreements on protected profits. Method selects the formula. Use for customer relationships, distribution networks, and non-compete assets; customer_relationships projects multi-period revenue with a retention rate. For the workforce and key-person assets use valuati

Human capital: assembled-workforce value by replacement cost and key-person value from revenue contribution and departure risk. Method selects the formula. Use for assembled workforce and key-person intangibles; assembled_workforce nets training and attrition into a replacement cost. For customer-related assets use valuation_customer; for technology assets use valuation_technology. Per method: ass

Goodwill and purchase price allocation: goodwill as the residual, a full PPA waterfall across identified intangibles, and useful-life estimation. Method selects the formula. Use for ASC 805 / IFRS 3 business combinations; purchase_price_allocation allocates consideration to identified intangibles with the remainder to goodwill. For subsequent goodwill and intangible impairment testing use valuatio

Impairment testing: goodwill impairment and intangible impairment under US GAAP (ASC 350) or IFRS (IAS 36). Method selects the formula. Use for annual or triggering-event impairment testing; goodwill_impairment compares a reporting unit's carrying value with its fair value. To compute the initial goodwill or allocation use valuation_goodwill_ppa; for the underlying asset fair values use the releva

Royalty analysis: benchmark royalty-rate ranges by IP type and industry, adjust a base rate for deal factors, and apply the 25% rule of thumb. Method selects the formula. Use to select and support a royalty rate before a relief-from-royalty or royalty-capitalization valuation. To apply the chosen rate in a valuation use valuation_income_methods (relief_from_royalty) or valuation_market_approach (r

Uncertainty analysis: Monte Carlo valuation, Monte Carlo sensitivity ranking, decision-tree expected values, and one-at-a-time sensitivity analysis. Method selects the formula. Use to quantify and stress the uncertainty around a point valuation; monte_carlo simulates all listed inputs, monte_carlo_sensitivity ranks the drivers. For a single deterministic point value use the relevant valuation tool

Transfer pricing and litigation: the Comparable Uncontrolled Price arm's-length range and patent infringement damages with pre-judgment interest. Method selects the formula. Use for OECD transfer-pricing pricing of intercompany intangibles and for patent infringement damages awards. For royalty-rate benchmarking to set a rate use valuation_royalty_analysis; for the substantive asset valuation use
