What problem does it solve? Early-stage IP assets are routinely mispriced: teams equate sunk R&D spend with value, or present a fragile single-point DCF as a transaction price. This Skill applies WIPO's 2025 valuation guidance to produce a purpose-specific, evidence-backed value range with explicit assumptions and sensitivities instead of false precision. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-approach valuation: Selects among cost, market, income/DCF, risk-adjusted NPV, and real-options framing based on available evidence, then reconciles them without averaging away disagreement. - Deterministic arithmetic tool: The companion ipvalue.py script discounts cash flows, probability-adjusts staged cash flows, adjusts market comparables, and triangulates estimates with normalized weights. - Use Case: A university technology-transfer office needs a licensing range for a patent plus know-how bundle. The Skill fixes the valuation purpose and base date, builds an evidence ledger, computes low/base/high cases, and returns a defensible negotiation range with dominant sensitivities. ## Quick Start Use the value-intellectual-property skill to value this patent and know-how bundle for an exclusive licence negotiation, giving me a defensible range with sensitivities rather than a single price.
