Putting A Number On A Name

Brand Capital Only Works If The Valuation Survives Contact With A Board, An Auditor And An Investor. Softbrand's Methodology And PrismIndex's Market Data Are How We Get There.

What The Model Actually Looks At

  • Comparable Sales

    Observed Clearing Prices For Similar Assets, Weighted By Recency And By The Credibility Of The Venue.

  • Linguistic Quality

    Length, Pronounceability, Syllable Structure, Spelling Risk And Cross-Language Safety.

  • Extension Weight

    .Com Versus Category And Country Extensions, Adjusted By The Market The Company Sells Into.

  • Intelligence Layer

    How Much Capital Is Currently Forming In That Vertical, And How Contested The Naming Space Is.

  • Acquisition Layer

    Trademark Availability By Class, Existing Conflicts And Realistic Enforceability.

  • Defence Layer

    What The Company Would Otherwise Spend To Reach The Same Recognition On A Weaker Name.

Beyond Our Own Deals

The Same Model Is Offered To Companies Outside The Orangeful Portfolio: Startups Pricing A Brand Acquisition, Corporates Carrying IP On The Balance Sheet, And Investors Underwriting A Naming Decision Inside A Round.

  • Startups Acquiring Or Upgrading A Brand
  • Companies Re-Engineering Or Tweaking An Existing Brand
  • Investors Diligencing Brand Risk Pre-Round
  • Portfolio Holders Marking A Book To Market
