How the fair value is built
A balance-sheet business: valued on earnings and book value (cash-flow and EV/EBITDA don’t apply to banks and insurers).
Value capped by the model's guard
Every valuation method came in above the model's outlier ceiling and was capped to it. An independent method still confirms at least a 15% discount, so read the margin of safety shown as “at least” — the true value is higher.
