His methodology. Our cadence.
Country risk premia, equity risk premia, and sector betas in this product use the published methodology of Aswath Damodaran, Kerschner Family Chair Professor of Finance at NYU Stern School of Business. We are not affiliated with him. We do not claim our numbers are more accurate. We claim only that they are more current.
We do not assert that our weekly recomputation is more accurate than Professor Damodaran's annually-published static dataset. He has decades of research backing each estimate. Our weekly recompute uses his published formulas with fresh inputs — that's the entire wedge. When his next annual dataset publishes, that becomes the new static reference and we recalibrate.
Formula. Plain.
DCF inversion.
Weekly cron.
Every country, every sector, every WACC composition recomputes once a week against the latest published macro inputs and the latest equity-index and bond-volatility observations. Each output carries a vintage stamp.
Every reference page renders both numbers side-by-side — our weekly recompute and the annual static reference — with the delta visible. The user is never asked to choose which to trust.
| Enum value | What it covers (reference context) |
|---|---|
| aggregator | A long-tail catalog layer carrying the macro inputs (rf, vols, GDP) that feed every iCRP / iERP / WACC computation. |
| equity_index_proxy | Index-level price, payout, and implied-volatility observations sourced through an opaque public-data layer. Used as the price-side input to the iERP DCF inversion. |
| analyst_consensus_proxy | A consensus-of-forecasts surface for index-level cash flows. When null, surfaced via meta.degradation. |
| official_release | National-bureau publications used for corporate tax rates and sovereign-debt characteristics where the bureau is the canonical publisher. |
| central_bank | Policy-rate decisions and balance-sheet stocks feeding the risk-free leg of every WACC. |
| survey | Expectations and sentiment surfaces used as cross-checks on the equity-index proxy. |
| unknown | Fallback label. Triggers a manual-review queue for the next ingest cycle. |
