  • Publication number: 20050197942
    Abstract: A computerized valuation platform. The computerized valuation platform can include a formula generator, a data acquisition mechanism, a valuation engine, and/or an information-presentation interface. The formula generator can be configured to publish one or more portable formula modules, wherein each portable formula module defines a valuation formula. The data acquisition mechanism can be configured to receive one or more values and assign the values to corresponding variables of the valuation formulas. The valuation engine can be configured to load a selected one of the published portable formula modules and calculate a valuation answer based on the loaded portable formula module and the assigned values corresponding to the variables of the valuation formula defined by the selected portable formula module. The information-presentation interface can be configured to present the calculated valuation answer.
