What if I disagree with Opagio's valuation?

Full Explanation

Opagio is a tool, not a dictum. If the system suggests a 3% royalty rate but you have market evidence for 4%, adjust it. If you think the discount rate should be 12% not 15%, change it. The output will immediately reflect your adjustments. This transparency is the design: unlike a black-box valuation by a mysterious expert, Opagio shows all working so you can challenge and adjust. However, if you systematically bias all assumptions upward (claiming 5% royalty rate when comparables are 2%, claiming 5% perpetual growth when industry average is 2%), auditors/investors will notice. Sensitivity analysis helps: show your valuation under three scenarios — base case (your central estimates), upside (conservative assumptions), and downside (aggressive assumptions). This transparency demonstrates you've thought through uncertainty and aren't blindly defending a single valuation. If an auditor or investor challenges a specific assumption, be prepared to explain and defend it. Opagio provides the framework; you provide the judgment and evidence.
