Marketplace health and valuation: take rate, GMV revenue-multiple valuation, buyer retention, and network density. Method selects the metric. Use for two-sided transaction marketplaces; for subscription software use valuation_saas. Parameters apply per method: take_rate needs revenue + gmv; gmv_multiple needs gmv + multiple; buyer_retention needs buyers_period_1 + buyers_repeat; network_density needs active_buyers + active_sellers + total_users. 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.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| method | string | yes | Formula to apply. Options: take_rate = Take rate = revenue / GMV.; gmv_multiple = Valuation = GMV × multiple.; buyer_retention = Retention = repeat buyers / base-period buyers.; network_density = Density = active buyers × active sellers / total users. |
| revenue | number | no | Revenue for the period, currency units. |
| gmv | number | no | Gross merchandise value (total transaction volume), currency units. |
| multiple | number | no | Exit or market multiple applied to the metric. |
| buyers_period_1 | integer | no | Distinct buyers in the base period. |
| buyers_repeat | integer | no | Distinct buyers from the base period who purchased again. |
| active_buyers | integer | no | Active buyers in the period. |
| active_sellers | integer | no | Active sellers in the period. |
| total_users | integer | no | Total users (buyers + sellers) in the period. |
