I agree completely. Numbers are easily misinterpreted and too much credance can be given to them. The calculated numbers were shown in the presentation for illustraive purposes only. In the final version, they have been replaced by bar graph indicators and traffic light displays. No calculated values are shown.

I have to voice my opinion, that no attempt should be made to put an absolute pound & pence value on intangibles. Even though I only got a little glimpse of PAVE in Gavin's presentation (without the colour green though), I am quite convinced that this kind of tool can be beneficial, but never ever should it give an exact measure of value in monetary terms.

If we could establish accurate probabilities for each step of the development ? both technical and commercial for a business then it might be useful for valuation but there simply isn?t the data available to do that. So the absolute value remains elusive.

So why is it not a valuation tool?

In a way. Both NPV and IRR are commonly used techniques

Is this a bit like Return on Investment calculations?

It is based on a probability adjustment to a Net Present Value calculation

What is the basis for the calculation?

PAVE blends together the concepts of adjusting value streams to account for systemic risks and accounting for predictable or known future uncertainties using subjective probabilities.

How does that work?

We are developing a tool called PAVE ? Probability Adjusted Expected Value ? which isn?t a valuation tool as such but provides a means of assessing development opportunities within a business against each other.

Is there a valuation tool under development by the IA Centre or is there one available that will help establish market value for intangible assets, or a business that is intangibly-rich?
