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 valuation_human_capital; for technology assets use valuation_technology. Per method: customer_relationships needs customer_count + avg_revenue_per_customer + retention_rate + profit_margin + discount_rate + projection_period; distribution_network needs channel_count + revenue_per_channel + channel_margin + useful_life + discount_rate; non_compete needs protected_revenue + profit_margin + term + enforcement_probability + discount_rate. retention_rate and enforcement_probability are in [0,1]; projection_period sets the number of discounted periods. Only method is required; all other parameters are method-dependent — supply those the selected method names and omit the rest (defaults apply where defined). Rates and premiums are decimals (0.10 = 10%). Pure arithmetic: no I/O and no external calls, rounded to 2 decimals; parameters belonging to other methods are accepted and ignored. An unknown method, or a missing method-required parameter, returns an error instead of a value.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| method | string | yes | Formula to apply. Options: customer_relationships = Multi-period revenue net of attrition, discounted.; distribution_network = Channel revenue times margin over the useful life.; non_compete = Protected profit under an enforcement probability, discounted. |
| customer_count | integer | no | Number of customers (integer ≥ 0). |
| avg_revenue_per_customer | number | no | Average annual revenue per customer, in currency units. |
| retention_rate | number | no | Annual customer retention rate, in [0,1]. |
| profit_margin | number | no | Profit margin as a decimal (0.20 = 20%). |
| discount_rate | number | no | Per-period discount rate as a decimal (0.10 = 10%). |
| projection_period | integer | no | Projection horizon in years (integer ≥ 1). |
| channel_count | integer | no | Number of distribution channels (integer ≥ 0). |
| revenue_per_channel | number | no | Annual revenue per channel, in currency units. |
| channel_margin | number | no | Channel profit margin as a decimal in [0,1]. |
| useful_life | integer | no | Useful life in years n (integer ≥ 1). |
| protected_revenue | number | no | Annual revenue protected by the non-compete, in currency units. |
| term | integer | no | Non-compete term in years (≥ 0). |
| enforcement_probability | number | no | Probability the non-compete is enforceable, in [0,1]. |
