Modern and alternative valuation: SAFE conversion (discount, cap, expected value), token valuation (equation of exchange, NVT), ESG adjustments (rate, premium, discount), Metcalfe network value, data-moat value, and remote-first premium/NPV. Method selects the model. Use for SAFEs, tokens, ESG, network effects, data moats, and remote-first adjustments; for classic pre-revenue methods use valuation_core. Parameters apply per method: safe_discount needs series_a_price + discount; safe_cap needs cap + series_a_price; safe_expected needs investment + cap + discount + series_a_valuation + series_a_price; token_value needs transaction_volume + price_per_tx + velocity + supply; metcalfe needs n; esg_* need base_valuation + a score; data_moat needs data_volume + data_uniqueness + monetization_rate + competitive_advantage_years. Routing: for classic pre-revenue methods (Scorecard, Berkus, Risk-Factor Summation, VC Method) use valuation_core; for options or scenario tables use valuation_advanced; for public-comparable multiples use valuation_comparables. Only method is required; all other parameters are method-dependent, so supply those the selected method names and omit the rest (defaults apply where defined). Rate and decimal inputs are fractions (0.10 = 10%); probability and weight lists are in [0,1] and sum to 1. Returns value, method, inputs, assumptions, chapter, formula_number and calculation steps; pure arithmetic — no I/O and no external calls — rounded to 2 decimals, with no auth or rate limits. An unknown method, or a missing method-required parameter, returns an error instead of a value.
