How much rests on your numbers
The ring beside the value shows how much of the valuation rests on numbers you supplied or confirmed, weighted by how much each one matters. The fuller it is, the more the value is about your business.
The ring in the corner
The ring next to the value says how much of the valuation rests on numbers you supplied or confirmed, instead of on industry averages. The higher it is, the more the value is about your business rather than businesses like it.
Weighted by what matters
It isn’t a count of questions answered. Each question is weighted by its triangles, so answering a three-triangle question moves the ring three times as far as a one-triangle question.
Chapter 4, answered one question at a time
89% of this chapter’s weight
Nothing answered. All five questions sit at the industry median.
Service gross margin answered. It carries three of the chapter’s nine triangles: 3 ÷ 9.
Overhead answered too (two triangles): 5 ÷ 9.
Research spending and network-abuse losses answered (one triangle each): 7 ÷ 9.
Cost per seat filled by inference. It counts at half its two triangles: 8 ÷ 9. This is the screenshot’s “89% of this chapter’s weight”.
The inference confirmed. Every question in the chapter now rests on your numbers.
Why it matters
Every unanswered question is tested across the whole typical range, so the value’s range stays wide until you answer it. As the ring fills, the range narrows and the value becomes yours to defend.
The “What moves your value” panel beside the value lists the inputs that swing it most. Rows still sitting on the industry median are the quickest way to narrow the range.
Share on your numbers = Σi weighti × crediti ÷ Σi weighti
weight = the input’s triangles (1–3); credit = 1 for a firm figure, 0.5 for an inference, 0 for an estimate or an assumed median
- Firm. Owner-stated, from the statements, document-verified, checked against a public record, or a median the owner confirmed.
- Scope. Every input that applies to your business type counts; inputs for other types don’t.
- What it is not. It isn’t a confidence level or a probability. It is the share of the weight resting on your evidence.
